Thank you.
Mr. Cloutier, you gave some pretty sobering statistics about the age of hospital infrastructure in Canada, and apparently the majority of it is well over 50 years old. You've also written that Canadian hospitals are forced to defer much-needed maintenance due to budget constraints in order to maintain front-line care for patients, and you've noted that we have not adequately funded the upkeep of our health institutions. In your view, what does the effect of this deferral of needed maintenance have on infection control in our hospitals?
