Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Mr. Doidge, I'm going to ask you a specific question. It's something I've been working on over the past few weeks with respect to access to advanced diabetes technologies for indigenous adults who currently have only case-by-case access to advanced glucose monitoring technology through the NIHB program.
In that regard, for example, an indigenous adult who may be eligible to access the Ontario drug benefit program could access advanced glucose monitoring technologies such as flash glucose monitoring. However, if they are not eligible for the public plan nor have any access to a private insurance plan, they would have to be reviewed by the NIHB program before even being considered to have access to this life-changing diabetes technology.
Is this an issue of NIHB not having the funding it needs to improve access to innovative technologies, which many non-indigenous people are already benefiting from?
