Thank you, Madam Chair.
I admit that you're a woman of your word, since you're letting me ask the question I wanted to ask in the previous round of questions.
According to the Auditor General, at a given moment, there weren't any guidelines on how Health Canada was carrying out its product audit and analysis mandate. She also said there was a lack of funding at certain stages of the process. In light of that information, I think we are justified in wondering whether products that have not been rigorously reviewed may have been included among the products now on sale.
We were also justified in wondering — as Ms. Brown asked in another way when she spoke — whether certain products currently on sale are checked in a systematic, rigorous and ongoing manner. I'm thinking in particular of silicone breast implants concerning which — you'll remember this, Mr. Yeates — we raised a certain number of very important questions for Canadian women at the committee's last meeting on Monday.
