I would like to tell everyone on this fine committee that I learned a few things, which is great. But I would have liked to focus a bit more on those who are fifty plus.
We are all human beings. What is our most prized possession on this earth, the most valuable thing every one of us living in this great land we call Canada has? Is it money, power or simply health? The only reason we are all able to be here today is that we are healthy. All it takes is the flu and we're done for, stuck in bed and out of commission. Every human being should remember that. Our most prized possession, individually and collectively, is our health. Without that, we have nothing and we can no longer contribute to this great country of ours, which I have proudly called home for 43 years.
So there you have it.
