Thank you very much, everyone, for your presentation today. I appreciate it.
Similar to Dr. Haggie, I'm also a surgeon. I'm a pediatric orthopedic surgeon. Your points were well taken. I don't think a patient gets too worked up about who decides when. They just want to make sure they can have their surgery or have their procedure.
Dr. Haggie, you're a surgeon. You've worked in a hospital. Dr. Chisholm has as well. We had met before, but there's an anesthetist....
It's very clear to me, and I stated this in the House. When I run into a problem with a drug in my operating room, I don't pick up the phone and call the Minister of Health; I call my pharmacist. We also deal with our provincial formularies, and we deal with the circumstance of our hospital making sure that the supplies are available to us. That's who's actually doing the negotiating.
I want to be very clear that I think we understand that this is health care and the provision of those medications is a provincial responsibility, a provincial negotiation, a hospital negotiation. I just want to make sure that we're on the same wavelength on that, and then I have another couple of questions for you.
