What we think it important is the ability to work on the social determinants of health. When working in health, such as on TB, issues related to home construction and housing can't be ignored. If you are working on the issue of oral hygiene, you also have to look at other things, such as those affecting food security, for instance.
There are many things to consider when trying to treat health properly and effectively.
In some ways, the creation of this department is offering us capacity. One example that is quite easy to understand is mental health. Mental health touches many areas in health, not only one place, so you have different ways of approaching it. Working with child and family services, for example, what you do with income assistance, what you do with health, what you do in other areas gives you a chance to have a more holistic approach and develop an approach that, over time, will better respond to the needs of the community and also to the way they want to shape their programs and respond to the challenges they are facing. For us, it's actually a very good opportunity.
In many respects, this reiterate the points made by the Auditor General about the need for better data. If you want to do that, you will need to have better information about what exactly impacts what, how you can have an impact on that information, how you can have more success, and how you can improve the situations over time. We will look forward to developing that. That's a challenge for us, of course, that we will be addressing with our partners over the next few years.
