Thank you very much for that.
Deputy Minister, throughout the report, the phrase “best practices” is used a number of times. In talking about the need for the department to approach things with further engagement of indigenous communities and health practitioners as a view to coming around to establishing best practices, “best practices” is never defined.
I only have a minute or so left, so I won't put it to the Auditor General. I think the more important question would go to the department. How are best practices defined here? Is it reflective of indigenous principles around health care? Are there other ideals infused within that conception of best practices? How will the department approach best practices? What does that mean?
