Thank you.
To Dr. O'Brien, I really thank you for your testimony on rural areas. As an MP who represents a rural riding in New Brunswick, I do understand the challenges. I know that Moncton Hospital in New Brunswick, as well as River Valley Health, ran into some serious challenges with this.
I also appreciate the fact that you clearly articulated in your testimony some of the comments that have come out as to why certain things like CT scans are not replacements for some of the challenges we ran into.
With regard to the action we took as parliamentarians together in this, do you have any doubts that if we had not taken that action, the health impact on Canadians would have been tremendous going on another few weeks?
