Health committee  I would support it most emphatically and strongly.

Health committee  Absolutely.

Health committee  Thank you. I can only echo the sentiments that Dr. Kitts has just expressed and tell you that the project I described under the auspices of Health Canada is looking for those pockets of innovation and searching out where they are viable and workable. We will do everything possible to promote them and to share that information for other centres across the system to look at.

Health committee  From our perspective, you're absolutely right, and I think the first primordial step is for us to get a handle on what's going on in allied health. We can't seem to get a really good analysis around the country, and that's part of what I would recommend to you, that you move onto in recommendations.

Health committee  It's a challenge to speak so quickly on an issue of such importance, but I'll do my best. I'm involved in a project called “Sustaining an Allied Health Workforce”. It's a constituency that gets very little attention because the attention focuses more on physician and nursing education.

Health committee  Thank you.
