That's good, because it means we're on the same page.
We have many reports, but our failings sometimes as a nation is that we don't implement what we recommend. Others do.
We've heard that we're a country of pilot projects; we know that everyone uses our Ottawa charter. We are heroes beyond our own borders, but we need to start implementing our recommendations. We have the Senate report from 2009; we have the chief public health officer's report; and we have the report by Sir Michael Marmot of the WHO commission.
I'm leaving you with one final thought, and it's on the poster. I hope you take a look at it; it's a really good primer. Since the early 1900s, the average lifespan of Canadians has increased by more than 30 years, and 25 of those years are attributed to advances in public health—the advances that you see so clearly in this poster.
If we want to maintain that legacy and if you want to live another 30 years, I suggest that we need to really focus our conversation strategically and make the investments where they are going to count.
Thank you very much.
