Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you to all the witnesses for coming.
Dr. Pipe, I really appreciate your remarks about the safety and quality of the food system. I think Mr. Reaman used food safety in a very different way from how you used food safety.
I do not want to see education, voluntary reductions, and research used to slow down real action. We've known for 40 years that salt is an issue. We knew tobacco was carcinogenic for a hundred years, and we knew sunlight was, before we took real action. We did take action and things got done.
We know salt is an issue and 90% of patients know salt is an issue. They know that processed food is a concern.
Dr. Pipe, is there any other community that you would like to highlight, other than Finland, that has done important work this committee should learn from?
