I caution Mr. Davies that his time is well up.

If you could quickly wrap up your answer, it would be appreciated.

Mathew Wilson

Sure. I think we can produce domestic supply, but I think a big part of the problem is figuring out the capabilities and what is needed, and by whom, across the country, and that diffusion of procurement is a really big problem in solving some of those problems, which is one of the questions asked earlier as well.

Hang on, Mr. Doherty.

I thank the panel for your time, your contributions and your great information. If you wish to leave the meeting, you're certainly welcome to do that.

Mr. Doherty, you have a point of order.

Yes. Before they leave, I also want to thank each of them. Their members and their associations are really and truly our heroes during this crisis. I say thank you to them for that.

Ms. Black, you mentioned a study that was completed in the U.S. While I'm not on this panel, I think it would be beneficial to this committee to have a copy of that report.

Through you, Mr. Chair, I was just wondering if Ms. Black knows the title or can forward it to the committee so that the committee might be able to review that U.S. study on long-term care.

Thank you.

The Chair Liberal Marcus Powlowski

Thank you, Mr. Doherty.

For all the witnesses who have offered to provide information to different members, please provide that information to the committee. The clerk will distribute it to all members.

Once again, thank you to everybody, and thank you to all of the members for being here today. It's good to see all of you.

With that, the meeting is now adjourned.
