Scale is very important to me, although I appreciate that it might not be part of CAWT's mandate. I fully respect that CAWT is fulfilling its mandate. However, scale is important. Obviously, there are 1 million people on health waiting lists in the South, and 250,000 people in the North are on health waiting lists for over a year. How do we scale up the delivery of services on a cross-Border basis to actually reduce those waiting lists?
