Just to add to that discussion, as you all know, there have been a number of labour sector studies for various health disciplines or health professions. There was a nursing one, a physician one, a pharmacist one, a home care one. The Canadian Healthcare Association was involved in all of these, sometimes on the steering committee, sometimes on the management committee. They were sometimes concerned that they were working in silos, and while we were all trying to plan for the future, the assumptions on which we were planning were different and really needed to be more integrated than not. Frankly, that's why we kept meeting throughout this process, doing various sector studies, seeing how we could get together so we weren't operating in silos.
So what we're really seeing is some kind of mechanism to bring together all of the various information gathering, research processes, planning processes, and what not, not in a way that steps on anyone's jurisdiction, but in a way that understands that people are mobile and can move from province to province, region to region. We need to address those issues as well as needs across the country.
I think a number of us are working on next steps and seeing whether we can get together the funds. We're putting our information together, for a concept paper on various models for this kind of national or pan-Canadian mechanism, even though various principles associated with it have been put forward by a number of us over the years. It really emanated from those labour sector studies that operated individually.
