Thank you, Madam Chair.
I would like to give notice of the following motion:
That the committee spend at least five meetings conducting a study on the social determinants of health in order to review and assess the evidence showing that social conditions play a pivotal role in health; to confirm the social or economic conditions that affect the health of Canadians and, to the extent possible, to quantify that impact; to identify the effects, including financial, of those determinants on Canada's health system; to make recommendations on how to address those determinants to improve the health of Canadians; to make Canada's health care system more sustainable and more affordable; and to report to the House of Commons.
Thank you, Madam Chair.
