Thank you.
I will start by answering the first question about non-emergency care, outpatient care.
It's important to note that there have been a number of initiatives. Probably the most recent one—it's been going on for several years in Toronto—is called the community referrals by emergency medical services.
That is exactly what they do. Instead of sending people to the hospital, they put them in touch with the social services available. I wish this could be done across the country, in every city.
It's really an important piece of the care, and it's not in terms of acute care. It's not even health care in many respects. It's a referral service to the appropriate social service that may be available in the community. Toronto is a good example. It's being done in other communities across the country, but they're the first ones to have done that.
For some time now, Collège Ahuntsic has offered a program related to the national profile. It works quite well. There are also ways for health professionals leaving the Canadian Forces to be recognized as civilian professionals.
I would compliment the federal government. Over the last 10 years, actually, they've taken the initiative on that, with respect to integrating military, post-service, into the profession of paramedics. There's been a link. They've adopted the terminology from the national profile.
Merci.
