Thank you for being here.
I am going to continue along the lines you were discussing, Ms. Woods. In this present situation, we see that the same elements lacking in all the problems that affect aboriginal populations are factors here too: housing, nutrition, all the social determinants of health are involved.
I saw you taking notes as the witnesses were testifying. So I suppose that you were writing down the answers you wanted to give to all the questions that people asked: are there intermediate targets; why are we spending less on the treatment of tuberculosis in aboriginal society than in non-aboriginal society; why are there problems in diagnosis; why are aboriginal communities not more involved in the entire process of treating disease? I would like to add one more question: how will you reach the target of 3.6% by 2015? According to the infection numbers we have been given, that seems to me to be a very bold target, to say the least.
