Thank you very much, Member Zarrillo, through the chair, for your question.
We were funded by CIHR to conduct a study in which the Government of B.C.'s Ministry of Health was one of the partners in setting the main research question and how to analyze the results so that we would be able to support it in what the impact of a subsidy system for contraception would be on health and equity in B.C.
First, our study undertook a province-wide sexual and reproductive health survey. In 2021, this government was able to use the basis that we made for that sexual and reproductive health survey to implement a sexual and reproductive health survey across Canada, which we'll be fielding later this year. It will be run by Statistics Canada.
I think this is key moving forward, as we implement precontraception through this bill, in my hopeful way, to be able to measure the impact. This is because this was what B.C. used to measure the need, and it was how we determined where there were inequities and how those inequities could be addressed through universal contraception.
Undertaking surveys of people and being able to look at health systems and health administrative data in comparison with the survey data.... StatsCan's new survey that will go out will also be linked with a personal health number to health administrative data so that we'll get specific, disaggregated equity data on the gaps for people in achieving their sexual and reproductive health.
The baseline in 2024, of course, will be before any impact of this bill, but I think it will be very important, moving forward, for the government to continue to have, as one of Statistics Canada's core surveys, a sexual and reproductive health survey that allows us to disaggregate and understand those equity barriers across Canada.
I don't know if I've answered your question in the way you wanted.
