Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you all for being here. It's greatly appreciated.
Ultimately, we're doing a study so we can hopefully ask Canadians how we are going to make it better for women. It's a challenge.
You all are researchers, and you've indicated that to us. I thank you for the research you do, because that helps practitioners. Some of us at this table have been practitioners, but at this point in our lives, we're politicians. Ultimately, how do we improve things for Canadians, especially when we're dealing with a health care system that is primarily a provincial issue? There's a huge challenge along those lines.
I know that throughout the conversation we've had today, in everything that has been talked about—postpartum and prepartum, etc.—it has been one year. I would argue that's not the case. I think people listening would say, “Oh, it's one year. I'm a year past giving birth, so I don't have to worry about it.”
Is there any evidence to suggest how long it could be, Dr. Montreuil?
