Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, gentlemen, for your presentations.
Mr. Desautels, during your remarks I jotted down, when you made reference to “entities”, that you talked about trying to get a sense of their state of health. Two things occurred to me. I think I know what you mean, but I wouldn't mind hearing exactly what you call the state of health and what sorts of things you would be looking at as determinants of health.
It also struck me that at no point prior would you have expected, under the current system, that any deficiencies in the yet-to-be-defined state of health had been detected by anybody. Therefore, your thoughts were, at this point, that this would be a good way to garner some of that information.
I am just concerned that you're not aware of any process, up until then--monitoring, oversight, accountability--that would let the powers that be know they have a problem with the state of health. Maybe you could comment on that for us.
