Thank you, Madam Chair. I want to thank our two witnesses for joining us today. My question is for Mr. Tyndall.
You have presented the IFHP as a necessary safety net when it comes to public health and said that limiting health care would be a disaster. We fully agree with that opinion, especially since preventive health care is both more humane and more economical than curative health care.
The International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights recognizes that everyone is entitled to the best physical and mental health status they can achieve and that states have a non-discriminatory obligation in the fulfillment of that right.
What do you think about those provisions? Do you think they can be ignored within the framework of public health?
