Health committee  It would be my hope, MP Davies, that consultation would be focused on clarifying governance structures for carrying forward the implementation of this framework, as well as defining the specifics of how all levels of government can collaborate in implementing it. I would hope t

Health committee  Implemented the way that we have recommended, which is just one possibility, it would take us seven years. It would cost a total of $150 million over that seven years. It would return savings to our economy of $20 billion in that same time frame, $11 billion of which would be to

Health committee  More than I can count.

Health committee  That's an excellent question, MP O'Connell. Maybe I can start and, Dave, you can add. There are a number of countries—I'm thinking specifically of Sweden, Denmark, Finland, the U.K., New Zealand—that have parts of these nationwide diabetes approaches and are experiencing much be

Health committee  Not as of yet, MP Davies, no.

Health committee  Not that I'm aware of, sir.

Health committee  According to some research that we have done, at least 30% of Canadians living with diabetes report being unable to adhere to their prescribed treatment regimen due to its costs. I see that this problem is only really being exacerbated as time goes on. The gap between people who

Health committee  Yes.

Health committee  Yes, thank you, Monsieur Thériault. I think there's no difference between a national framework and a national strategy. When we were drafting diabetes 360°, we debated strongly which words to use to describe what we were trying to accomplish. It is Diabetes Canada's fervent hope

Health committee  I like to think that the study the committee conducted has informed this private member's bill in a number of respects, MP Van Bynen. The study overall affirmed that we have a problem and that we need to do something much more coordinated in order to address it. I see in this bi

Health committee  Thanks so much, MP d'Entremont. Those are excellent questions. We developed diabetes 360° beginning in September of 2017. We are really pleased to see that the discussion carries on today. We would love to be able to cap that off with a formal commitment to a national diabetes f

Health committee  Good afternoon, committee members. I'm grateful to be living and working on the traditional lands of the Haudenosaunee, Anishinabe and Algonquin peoples. I would like to begin by thanking you for the opportunity to appear before you today on this important bill, but more importa

Health committee  Mr. Webber, the data we have are quite early on. We have data that unfortunately doesn't distinguish between whether patients had type 1 diabetes or type 2 diabetes. The research doesn't give us well-segmented data in terms of how many complications the patients had and perhaps w

Health committee  Thank you so much for the question, MP Sidhu. We really appreciate your support for diabetes, always. As I mentioned in my remarks, we know that diabetes is a disease, as is COVID, that really exploits health inequities. Responding to COVID as well as ensuring the health of peop
