Thank you all for being here today—all the nurses. I would also like to thank all committee members for voting unanimously for my motion to perform this diabetes study so that we can move forward to address diabetes more effectively in the future.
My question is to Mrs. Gallagher. In the Peel region, where my riding of Brampton South is located, they have had a higher incidence of diabetes than in any other part of Ontario for more than 20 years. This is called the hub of diabetes. How we are measuring the outcomes and inequities? How does Health Canada plan to address the social determinants of health, such as food insecurity and access to culturally relevant cures, as we address the diabetes epidemic? How are the outcomes measured and assessed?
