Thank you, Mr. Chair.
This is turning into a very interesting conversation with the witnesses. I'll just make a comment on some of the previous testimony.
I found it astounding that only one one-thousandth of the money that the former prime minister claimed did come out of that Kelowna communiqué. He's been going around the country stating there was a $5-billion agreement, but now we know, as we've always suspected, it was just a non-binding agreement with no impact. No money was set aside, and only one one-thousandth of the money ever flowed. That is very helpful, and I'd like to thank the Health Council of Canada for bringing that out today.
My question is to Ms. Yeates. I trust you've seen the Wait Time Alliance report card that came out a few weeks ago. There are a couple of tables in there, and I'm going to ask for your comments.
Table 2 talks about hip, knee, and a bunch of other procedures. There are areas for improvement, but it looks pretty good. Ontario gets five A's, Manitoba gets three A's and a couple of B's. On table 3, where it's talking about progress on the 10-year plan to strengthen health care--this accord we're talking about--the trends are up. It goes from a D to a C-plus, and from a C to a C-plus. So the trends are improving, it seems, according to the Wait Time Alliance report.
I'd like you to have an opportunity to comment on this report.
