We should go for another hour or so, Chair, I think.
There are two things I really want to flag here for our researchers. One is what Patricia is talking about. It's interesting that in our work in international development now, people are starting to realize that you'll have people going in to look at malaria, some to look at HIV, some at tuberculosis, some at sanitation, some at housing. In some cases it's faith-based organizations or NGOs. But we need to strengthen the public health systems of those countries and empower them to make everybody stronger collectively, and we're not doing it in our own country. I think this is really important. I don't know how we address it in the report, but it has to be flagged.
The other thing I want to mention is something that Ed said, which was to make sure that local communities and people get benefit from the economic development in their own backyard. That's something that normally might be the purview of Industry or Finance or Natural Resources, but in looking at anti-poverty, I think this is something this committee has to spend a little bit of time on when we get back and start looking at what we've heard: the whole issue of whether there will be a role, or a recommendation from this committee as to how we do this, in our “alleviation of poverty” piece.
I want to thank you for those contributions.
