Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Actually, I want to talk a little bit about what Mr. Davies said about home care and palliative care to reduce gridlock in the hospitals. As baby boomers age, we need to do something about that. We need more home care services.
I want to give you an example of a 24-hour clinic. In Mississauga there's a 24-hour clinic, and it's just opposite the Trillium hospital. If you go to the hospital for minor injuries, it takes a long time. At the 24-hour clinic, you go there and you get treated. I think it lowers wait times, and also relieves the burden on hospitals. This is something I want to talk about with regard to home care and palliative care for older people. If we increase home care, there will also be an effect on hospital gridlock.
The second thing is that mental health is becoming a challenge. There are so many barriers. We need to address that. Depression also comes into that.
With regard to a pharmaceutical strategy, Mr. John Oliver explained that very well.
Diabetes is becoming an epidemic disease. Every third Canadian, I think, will have a diagnosis of some kind of pre-diabetes condition. Obesity is the main cause, so we need to look into that. We need more awareness.
We need to make some kind of strategy for family doctors. I'm not knocking any family doctors. When a person is pre-diabetic, we should do something about that. When one person becomes diabetic and goes untreated, the person can become a heart patient too, so we need to look into that.
Next is insulin. In some countries insulin is a life-saving drug. Why not in Canada? We should have that life-saving drug too. We should look into that too.
The last government was doing a study on wireless radiation and how it affects our health. We should look into that too.
That's about it.
