Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Good afternoon to my colleagues.
Thank you to the witnesses for your testimony.
I'm a member of Parliament for the great riding of Saint John—Rothesay. Last week I had an opportunity to sit down with Dr. John Dornan, who's the CEO of Horizon Health Network. We talked about very innovative ideas, but also, obviously, a lot of concern came out of that meeting.
Again, I thank MP Zarrillo for this wonderful study, and we're here today because we certainly are faced with a crisis in the community care economy—doctors, nurses, caregivers—in every sector. From a federal perspective, as an individual and an MP, as a federal politician, as the federal government, I look for answers as to what we can do. We certainly recognize that jurisdiction is a major issue when it comes to our involvement in health care matters.
My first question is for you, Dr. Smart.
You alluded to the $28-billion ask from the provinces for health care, but you also mentioned that it may be better—and I don't want to put words in your mouth—targeted. Can you just elaborate on what you mean by targeted investments?
