Yes, absolutely. Earlier, I gave the example of whole genome sequencing. It’s a fairly expensive practice to adopt, but it has the potential to generate enormous benefits. Indeed, it provides a better understanding of the evolution of resistant pathogens, how they emerged and how they spread from one place to another.
As I mentioned, according to a rough estimate I made ahead of today’s meeting, implementing such a policy could generate as much as $70 million in savings for provincial and federal governments. This is one of the many measures that could be implemented. There are others. Many of these measures should not be seen as investments, because in reality, they will save us money. They are actually policies that will result in cost savings. We need to bring forward such policies.
