Thank you for the very complete answer.
What I know about the Banting Research Foundation is that it played a truly historic role in terms of scientific discoveries following the discovery of insulin. I myself am diabetic, and my daughter is too.
I am type 2. My daughter is type 1. It's genetic and we have to live with that. I just wanted to thank you for that research, but I want to come back to the study.
In your 2021 report, Quebec accounted for approximately 23% of the population, but for 35% of your award winners. You also said that Ontario represented 38.8% of the population, but 43% of recipients. Representation among the provinces is very lopsided.
Is this great disparity between the numbers of awards a reflection of provinces where there are more rural regions compared to those with bigger cities?
