Thank you for that.
Yes, I agree with the regulatory barriers issue. We know why they're there. It's important to protect the privacy of health information.
Unlike countries in Scandinavia, where you can have all the national data all at once through a single process, we have multiple processes, as Dr. Money said. Even within provinces, I had one study that needed 13 regulatory approvals to do one study in one province. This adds to costs, it reduces the productivity that we have for the amount of research dollars invested and it limits our ability to do things that are relevant on a national scale.
In addition, we have a fundamental data harmonization problem. We collect information differently in different regions about these key socio-demographic and diversity characteristics.
