Thank you. I'll try to ask a pointed question then, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, each of you, for your cogent presentations this morning and this afternoon.
Certainly the case has been made by all of you that--if I can phrase it this way--within each component of the health care system there is a relative lack of coordination or symmetry, and among the various components there is a relative lack of coordination. Something needs to be done.
I just wondered if--and I'll ask this specifically of Ms. Fralick--one of your recommendations is the establishment of a Canadian coordinating office for health human resources. I have two questions. First, has that ever been attempted, and if so, was it abandoned or suspended at some point? Second, what can we learn from Germany, Belgium, and France with respect to a national office?
