Thank you, Madam Chair.
I'm going to follow up a bit, because I'm hearing all kinds of interesting ideas today. Particularly what jumped out is that there's no perfect system. They all have different answers. They all have different problems or challenges.
What I'm trying to sort out is what the paths are for this committee to look at or consider going forward. Collectively you've all touched on different areas that speak to your field, but then you jumped out to talk about education, a lunch program, an arts program for seniors, for example.
At the end of the day, where is the conflict here? You've got 13 jurisdictions delivering health care across the country, all with different challenges from those of the federal government. What's our responsibility, do you think, in terms of setting priorities that lock provinces into areas they might not want to be in, particularly with the comments that the last accord might have missed on a few markers?
If there's no perfect solution, is our approach to encourage provinces to address these and ensure that the funding is stable, and they take up innovation and look around not only Canada, North America, but the world for solutions?
This would probably be a question to the CMA, but I'd be curious to hear from others as well. I'd ask you to keep your answers brief, because we've only got five minutes here.
