That's a great question.
Once in a while, it has priority areas that focus on antimicrobial resistance. However, given the scale of the problem, I think that there's room for a greater proportion of funding dedicated toward this. With regard to the points that were made by my colleagues up here, an intersectoral approach is needed—in health, for sure, but also in environmental health and in animal health. This is truly an intersectoral issue.
I would even wager that the funding available from CIHR might not be sufficient, and alternative sources of funding—including tapping into security-related funding—would likely be ideal because this is truly a security issue, as well.
