Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all the presenters.
My question is for CIHR. The rate of prescription and dispensing of antimicrobials varies across the country. In the north and in Quebec, we have seen that rates are fairly steady: five to six daily doses per person. In Ontario, Manitoba, and British Columbia, it's six to seven. Other provinces continue to increase. Saskatchewan shows eight to eight and a half, and Newfoundland and Labrador shows 10 or more daily doses. What is the reason for the higher prescription rates or daily doses in Saskatchewan and in Newfoundland and Labrador?
