So I have an extra reason to provide you with strong testimony today.
We know that health care providers, both at the front line of service delivery and in supportive roles, play a key role in providing accessible, quality cancer care to Canadians. The Canadian Cancer Society supports recommendations from other health care provider stakeholders to implement a comprehensive and integrated pan-Canadian health human resources strategy, as well as continued investments in health research and, as I mentioned before in my testimony as well, increased access to palliative care, as well as those live-saving treatments.
