Thank you, Madam Chair.
I will ask you three questions and you can have the time remaining to answer them. I'm going to base my question on the comments made by Ms. O'Neil.
You said earlier, Ms. O'Neil, that improvements are made at the local level, that this is where the best practices are developed, but that we have to come up with a way to share the successes. I was under the impression that there were publications, not only here but also international publications that enabled us to do that, that there were forums, that there were conferences. I would simply like to know whether these tools for disseminating information are useful and whether or not they do the job well.
You also made a comment on the scope of our study, which may be a bit too broad. I would like each of you to tell us whether or not we should limit our study. If so, what should be the focus of this study?
The third question is for Mr. Beaudet in particular. Ms. O'Neil said that research was a poor cousin, and that it was under-funded. Do you share this opinion?
All of these questions are for the whole panel.
