Thanks. I think that's an important question.
The critical thing that we've seen happen to date, I think, is that nearly every country that has taken an expensive top-down approach to try to develop electronic health records has struggled to actually achieve that. If you look at the United Kingdom and Uganda, you'll see that they have spent even more money than Canada has and have made probably only slightly more progress.
I think we do need continued investment. There is a view--I think amongst many people--that we've somehow spent enough money. I think we probably still need some continued investment.
I think we have to encourage more local initiatives. I think we have to look at some of the options that can be developed on a regional basis.
I think we're seeing some changes. For example, eHealth Ontario is moving to trying to develop a very pragmatic, locally funded, local initiative. I think that's probably going to be our best chance in achieving it.
It is going to be critically important, though, that in order to address many of the issues we've heard--for example, long-term care and home care--we are going to have to be able to exchange information and have good sharing of information along the continuum of care. Getting electronic health records right is critically important. I don't think we've found out how to do it yet, and it will probably need some further investment. It needs to be a priority as we move forward.
