Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'm going to focus on chapter 1, Antimicrobial Resistance. Looking at the full report, in section 1.31 it states there was an attempt to develop a pan-Canadian strategy, but consensus was not achieved. In fact, you stated in your report that the Public Health Agency of Canada:
...discussed areas for collaboration with its public health counterparts in the provinces and territories, but did not achieve consensus to pursue the development of a pan-Canadian strategy.
Does the federal government have the authority to enforce this strategy, to force the provinces to achieve consensus? Why wasn't consensus achieved? Do we have an understanding of who didn't agree and how we would make things different in order to achieve that consensus to develop the strategy?
