Thank you very much, Chairperson.
Thank you to the witnesses for coming today. You all made great presentations. The statistics you gave us are truly alarming, if not scary. I think we hear that loud and clear.
Mr. Morency, in one of your diagrams here, there's one area of Montreal that looks solid red in terms of injured pedestrians. I come from Vancouver, and I know the city of Vancouver has done a fantastic job of enhancing pedestrian and bicycle pathways and trying to enhance safety. I think our cities have actually done a really good job of trying to do that. Thank you very much for the information from Montreal.
A number of you mentioned the health accord that we have and the one that will come up. I guess that's really where I'd like to focus my comments, because so much of what you've told us we know to be the absolute truth. I don't think we can rely on tax credits to turn the ship around, although refundable tax credits obviously would be better. So even in terms of the existing accord, which is not yet over, I do think that this issue of healthy outcomes, which you've all spoken about, is critical.
I wonder what you might put forward specifically. We know that in January there will be a premiers conference on health care. If you were at that table, what would you be banging your first on the table about? If we want to make that shift of 5%, do we do it through incentives? Do we do it by focusing more on early childhood development and healthy children? Do we do it more by looking at the social determinants of health Mr. Haldane spoke about? If you were at that table, what would you say? Where would you say the money should go? Where should it be shifted to get that buy-in, both at the national and at the provincial and territorial levels?
