Thank you, Madam Chair, and thanks very much to all of our presenters. Every time we hear from somebody, it just becomes more evident what a huge task they've taken on.
It's interesting to hear the different aspects and how the different groups see the issues, the problems, and the solutions. I am interested in a couple of things that were said during your presentations.
Dr. Besner, I think you said we needed to get into needs-based planning, and you talked a bit about underutilization of health professionals. Are you talking about all health professionals? To fix this problem or to make things better, do all health professionals have to be involved?
As well, when we talk about that, are there common issues among some of the different groups, such as technologists, technicians, alternative medicines, and so on, as well as the doctors and nurses we're familiar with? Maybe you could comment on that a bit, please.
