Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the Canada Health Act covers only those areas of medical and physician care that we call "insured services." It does not cover some major areas within our operations. For example, it would not be covering things like alcohol and drug programming, the child welfare function, health promotion, et cetera. It is a very old piece of legislation that is constantly in the news and being discussed for potential revision.
In terms of how we monitor to ensure that core programs are being delivered, we have identified this to the system reviewers as an area of weakness in our system. Our current accountability system does not require boards to report on either spending or results in core program delivery areas. That is an area where we aim to improve. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
