Thank you, Chair, and thank you to all the witnesses for being here today.
It's clear that the difficulties facing children are certainly as great as those for adults, and perhaps even greater. As Mr. Munter said, they are our future; there's no doubt about that.
One thing I spoke about the last time we met was the need for a national strategy on child and youth health, and the sad part is, with the number of meetings that we have at the current time, that's beyond the scope of where we are. I'll appeal to committee members again to give due consideration at the appropriate time that we're going to have to devote some more time to this particular topic if we're going to take leadership and help be a part of creating that strategy.
Mr. Munter, one of the things that we hear about, whether it be adults or children, is the health human resource difficulty we all face. Could you expand a bit on that? Maybe it's outside your area of expertise, but I know you're a well-respected expert in children and youth health.
Do pediatricians need to be funded better? Do we need more residency spots? What exactly does this boil down to?
