Health committee  One of the issues is the issue of funding, both at the undergraduate and the postgraduate level. They go hand in glove. So as much as you're looking at spots within medical schools at the undergraduate level, if you're going to move them into the postgraduate round, it's making sure you have the infrastructure within facilities such as the Ottawa Hospital or the Vancouver General Hospital—pick your institution across the country.

Health committee  Thank you, Madam Chair. I'm Glenn Brimacombe. I'm president and CEO of the Association of Canadian Academic Healthcare Organizations. I'm joined today by Dr. Jack Kitts, who is the ACAHO board chair, and he's also president and CEO of the Ottawa Hospital. ACAHO represents Canada's teaching and research hospitals, academic, provincial, and regional health authorities, and their research institutes.

Finance committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. In Alberta the distribution of health research dollars is a little different in comparison to the university. When it comes to the University of Alberta, there's a larger share of the research embedded within the university. In Dr. Tyrrell's case, the money allocated to him for the infrastructure would be through the university in which his research is housed.

Finance committee  If it's under the structure of the university, which in that case is more of an outlier than the current circumstance across the rest of the country.
