My community, Newmarket, is 14 square miles. It has 80,000 residents. I think it's the third most densely populated community in Ontario. Just outside of Newmarket there are lots of rural areas. One area that this committee has agreed to study is an analysis to compare and contrast urban health care and rural health care. The urban-rural divide that we see in parts of the mandate letter commits to promoting and standardizing access to health care for all Canadians.
What work is your department doing to improve health outcomes for Canadians in rural areas?
