Canada is currently undergoing a review of its Health Care System.  Several provinces have already done their own reviews, including my own province, and since our provincial committee is all volunteer, we missed the chance to testify for it.

I don't think we should miss this chance.  I have never appeared in a public hearing like this.  I guess as a consumer I could just go and speak my piece.  But if a breastfeeding committee were to appear, what should our submission be like?   Does anyone have any experience or advice for this situation?

"The Commission on the Future of Health Care in Canada is seeking submissions and applications to present at public hearings.  The commission will be traveling the country March 4th to May 16.  The website of the commission is
www.healthcarecommission.ca "

The first step is a one-page abstract, which is due in 3 weeks for my province's meeting.
