I think that question is exactly the reason why the department needs to have information about what the status is of the oral health outcomes of the Inuit and first nations people and what activities actually will close that gap, because otherwise.... That's the type of information that can be used to make sure that any additional investment is going to be utilized in a way that will close the gap.
Again, I think that's what's important. Additional money is, on the surface, a step towards trying to get to better health outcomes, but there needs to be a way of actually knowing whether or not that's what's going to happen. Money on its own isn't going to necessarily result in better health outcomes. The department needs to know exactly what those health outcomes are, what things affect the health outcomes, and how we know whether they're improving. That would be a way in which they would then be able to demonstrate back to Parliament that any additional money they get for these programs has in fact had an impact on the overall results.
