Health committee  Take care of the schools as well. Thank you.

Health committee  There are two elements to what you brought. First are the unhealthy habits that in general are linked to obesity, because unhealthy diet in general is linked to fatty foods, etc. This is very much linked to socio-economic inequalities, and it goes back to everything my neighbour

Health committee  I do not know the answer to that question. I think these are really two different topics.

Health committee  We could have a separate discussion about the definition of “disastrous consequences” for three hours, but in most western countries, or the richest countries, children are generally resuscitated at 22 to 24 weeks.

Health committee  Certainly I think approval of medication and the sharing of expertise need to be accelerated. In fact, children from Canada are recruited for the initial studies for medications that end up being approved in the U.S. but not in Canada, but then they're not approved in Canada. It

Health committee  In Canada, I'm aware of two main ones. One was carried out by Dr. Sarah McDonald in Ontario, and the other by me with Dr. Luo Zhong‑Cheng in Quebec. There have also been studies in Scandinavian countries. In fact, there are more and more studies being done around the world.

Health committee  The patients we were looking at, meaning the cohort of young people who came back to our offices in adulthood, were aged 25 to 30 years. According to epidemiological data from the MED‑ECHO databases of the Régie de l'assurance de maladie du Québec, some patients were in their mid

Health committee  I'm going to stick to my field of expertise. I'm a pediatrician and a specialist in neonatal intensive care. That means that my view of things is biased, because all I ever see are the cases when things did not go well. I think it's more of a question for obstetricians. I know t

Health committee  It's very important.

Health committee  I would say yes.

Health committee  I think it's very logical. As you said, medicine is universal. We read the research from our colleagues from everywhere. I think it's very important that within each country we have an entity that can be le garant, like Health Canada, so that whatever is sold and approved in Ca

Health committee  As I briefly concluded in that paragraph, even though I understand that this is a provincial jurisdiction, I think we need to have a global plan across Canada for planning the needs. When I talked about pediatrician retention, I specifically spoke about what happens in our tertia

Health committee  I won't talk specifically about salaries, but I will bring two questions to the importance of retention. One is that many pediatricians and subspecialists in the university hospitals have tasks other than caring for patients. They have to teach the next generation of pediatrici
