Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Thank you, Ms. Fitzgerald and Mr. Speechley, for coming out. In fact, I'm from your area just north of London. I can tell you that through the University of Western Ontario, Dr. Ted Hewitt does an exemplary job, I believe, of getting funds and doing the research that is so necessary and needed, not only for this but, likely as part of what he has gone out to get funding on, for many things that affect the livelihood of individuals and businesses, research that takes us out into the future. I just want to say welcome from one of the home guys who are not too far away from you.
Mr. Speechley, you mentioned a number of times the international falls prevention programs you're looking at and doing your research on. If I had time, I'd have some questions about the cost and the effectiveness of this particular survey.
You talk about the ones in places like Australia and New Zealand, where they've actually had falls prevention programs in place though a network, as I understand it. Can you tell me about the success of these programs and how they would relate to something that we could consider in Canada? They don't have a lot of winter in Australia and New Zealand. Set aside some things. I always get concerned about duplication in surveys just to keep things going, but is there something we can learn from them? What have you found in those programs that would be beneficial for us as a benchmark?
