I would like to ask one question of Ms. Fraser and one of Mr. Monette.
Ms. Fraser, in chapter 1 of your report, under 1.15 you list the conditions provinces have to meet in order to receive the Canada Health Transfer, in other words public administration, comprehensiveness, universality, portability and accessibility. You also say that Health Canada is responsible for monitoring compliance with these conditions. Are the conditions met? It would seem that throughout Canada, in all the provinces, there is a significant push to privatization in the health care sector, often calling accessibility into question. In the case of private institutions, accessibility is no longer the same. Has that been assessed or audited? If not, could you tell us how we could verify if this is truly the case?
I'll ask Mr. Monette my second question straightaway. When it comes to federal transfers to international organizations, like for instance the World Bank, do these organizations which receive funding have to comply with the same criteria, agreements or conditions for accountability as the provinces or territories?
