I wanted to apologize to the witnesses on behalf of the committee. To have seven witnesses in one hour is unacceptable. It doesn't allow us to do our work.
I believe that in the future the clerk needs to ask the committee what we would prefer. We might have been asked to have an extra session or to add time enough to do a proper piece of work. We don't have enough time for the officials to give us a portrait of what's been done and what they hope to do. If this is the way we're going to conduct the study, we might as well stop right now. We won't be able to do good work. I want to see a work plan, and we may have to have a steering committee meeting.
I don't know if Shelagh Jane Woods is going to speak. Aboriginal health human resources is one of the most important things we're going to have to address, and she's tucked under the whole Department of Health.
