Thank you, Chair.
Welcome, Madam Fraser. Thank you for all the great work you do.
I'm looking at chapter 8, on page 3, at the health indicators. You say in this report, “In the late 1990s, the Canadian health care system was generally seen as being in crisis. Public opinion surveys revealed that Canadians were very concerned about the quality and sustainability of the health care system.”
Of course we know that was when the Canada health and social transfer was first created, cutting about $2 billion to the provinces for health and social welfare. Mr. Christopherson and I were both members of the Ontario Parliament at the time, and it was a very difficult.
But a lot has changed. The Healthy Canadians report is an important tool to bring accountability and ensure that we're accomplishing our goals.
You have described some of the deficiencies in the report. Can you describe some of the aspects where the report delivers?
