Industry committee  When it comes to improving the delivery of health services to developing countries where poverty is very prevalent, it is a very complex issue that involves a number of challenges, including, for example, not having access to health care. There are countries where people have to walk several miles to be able to have access to basic health services.

Industry committee  Thank you very much. I'd also like to thank the committee for the opportunity to come and speak about Canada's support to improved health, including access to medicine, in the developing world. As was mentioned, my name is Louise Clément and I'm with the southern and eastern Africa directorate of CIDA.
