Where do we stand today?• No longing spooning out medicine that is killing

the patient• Canada has shown global leadership, and

others will follow• Leadership does not cost billions• Bureaucracy will work hard to derail ministers

and push political agendas• Vigilance, guidance, persistence• Think back to last year… what a great start!
