Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
First I would like to thank you for being here with us.
I have a comment for Dr. Valade. Thank you for telling us about a number of very specific cases concerning populations that are directly served by the federal government. A little later in our study, we'll come back with workers from those areas and we'll be able to pass on a number of your questions to those people to enhance the study we are conducting.
Madam Chair, last Tuesday and today, we heard witnesses tell us about the situation of nurses. They told us about overwork, changes to ways of doing things and continuing education.
I'm going to ask you the same question I asked the witnesses we heard from last Tuesday. Don't you think that the right forum to state those problems isn't Parliament, but that it would be preferable to speak directly to the stakeholders in Quebec and the provinces, who are the ones who govern education, ways of doing things, health, practices? Have you also made those observations to people who, in everyday life, work or have direct responsibility for the delivery of health services?
