Thank you.
I'm fully supportive of the comments made by my colleagues.
The one thing I might add that could be of interest to you is that two or three years ago, as the discussions were unfolding about the establishment of the health council, HEAL hoped that it would in fact be the body, but of course being more of an FPT animal it didn't quite have what we feel such a centre, forum, or institution should have.
HEAL did not go as far as figuring out the specific costs. If we can engage someone at the federal level to have that conversation, we'd probably be happy to do that. I agree with Mr. Tholl that it would not be as onerous a task as one might think.
We did, however, come up with a checklist of guiding principles for such a body. That is available on our website. I would be happy to send that over to the clerk for distribution to this committee. It might help you formulate your thinking.
