Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I consulted last year on healthy eating defeating diabetes. If someone needs that information, they can get it from me.
The point I got is that from Winnipeg to Vancouver, early detection would be beneficial. The cost of medical coverage needs to be standardized across the country, for example, glucose testing strips, lancets, and educational awareness for non-compliance. Then I think we can save hundreds of dollars with less burden on the health care system.
Diabetes 360° is a comprehensive strategy that will cover all these things that are outlined in detail, concrete steps that government can take to address the growing issue of diabetes in Canada.
Diabetes Canada, can you explain how your strategy covers all the local, regional, provincial and other jurisdictions to fit into the national framework?
