Health committee  I know NWAC has a strong position on that, related to, for instance, who is a status Indian and who is not a status Indian. There was even a bill before Parliament, Senate Bill S-3, which looked at enlarging the number of people who were supposed to receive status. That would rep

Health committee  Do a lot of employees have access to buttons they can push if they are in home care settings, for instance? Will you talk about that a little bit? Obviously, we're spending $5 billon on home care, $200 million of that in Manitoba. We often think those are very safe environments,

Health committee  Was that in the acute care sector across Canada or just within the province?

Health committee  However, a lot of the old facilities, for instance, have very long corridors, and there's a little nerve centre down at the far end, which means it is very difficult sometimes in these long-term care facilities to get help. Is that a model that is encouraged, or is that just beca

Health committee  How much of this information is shared with all health care providers in these long-term care facilities? I've been in a number in Winnipeg Centre and I didn't see coloured doors. I saw everything had white walls and maybe a kind of greenish hue on the doors. How much of this inf

Health committee  Thank you very much. Mr. Riker, I have a few questions for you. You talked a little bit about safety. It was kind of interesting. I haven't heard that conversation very much around this table very much. I was just wondering if you could talk a little bit more about the use of te

Health committee  How much of this technology is currently being used? Is anyone using any of this technology in any health care setting in Canada? Do people actually have buttons they push for assistance in home care or any other situation?

Health committee  Thank you very much for coming, everyone. I want to talk a bit more about dementia and dementia-friendly environments, which you talked about, Jennifer. How much research has actually been done on how the physical layout impacts whether there is violence by patients who have de

Health committee  Thank you very much. It's a very simple motion that says: That, in the opinion of this Committee, Bill C-316, An Act to amend the Canada Revenue Agency Act (organ donors), is a critical piece of legislation that has been duly and unanimously adopted by the House of Commons and

Health committee  After hearing the testimony from Monsieur Webber and also from the minister, I would like to present a motion. I'd like to table it at the earliest opportunity.

Health committee  I just wanted to make sure you're aware. I don't want it to fall by the wayside because it's too late. I want to get on with it.

Health committee  Thank you. I am going to share my speaking time with Mr. Eyolfson and Mr. Fragiskatos.

Health committee  Thank you very much. Thank you very much, Minister, for being here with us. I'd like to talk briefly about mental health. According to Statistics Canada, one in three Canadians is affected by mental health problems during their lifetime. This affects many aspects of life, inclu

Health committee  It's interesting you mention that, because in Winnipeg, CFS—child and family services—has on a number of occasions, when kids have been playing outside in their backyard, intervened and said “Your children should not be alone” and attempted an intervention, so it is an issue with

Health committee  Kyle, thank you very much for your lucid testimony. I was wondering if you could talk a little bit about families that are perhaps poorer. What level of support should governments be providing in ensuring that people have access to recreation services at the municipal level and t
