Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses for their very valuable information today.
I want to thank MP Ferreri for what she just mentioned. We're in agreement. The recommendations will be clear about age 40. We'll have to look at the Public Health Agency of Canada and how they recommend individuals for this task force. Clearly we're all in agreement on that. We heard from every single witness, except one, that that's the case.
I want to turn my attention to the next steps. Madam Kewayosh, from Ontario Health, mentioned visits in northern Ontario. I want to talk about how the system can improve and recommendations along those lines.
I want to talk about the visits, but as some of you may know, in Ontario there are 116 first nations. Of those, 110 are located in northern Ontario, with nine fly-in first nations. Northern Ontario has the first new medical school in 30 years, NOSM, in Sudbury and Thunder Bay. They focus on rural and indigenous. A lot of the doctors, who are trained for about six years, also go into the communities.
Madam Kewayosh, do you have any recommendations along the lines of the primary care training that is happening? What did you see on the ground in your two visits in northern Ontario?
I'll ask the other two witnesses that also.
