Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Before I ask my question, I've heard from time to time that sometimes those of us in the back seats of the House of Commons can't make a difference. I believe my colleague, Mr. Young, has proven that wrong, and that he will make a significant difference in the lives of millions of Canadians in years to come. So thank you for that.
Minister, I appreciate your being here today.
You made mention of the competence and transparency in regard to the health care system. Can you provide the committee with some additional details on what Health Canada is doing to provide Canadians with the information they need to make informed health decisions? How will Vanessa's law give Canadians the information they need to make informed decisions about the use of therapeutic drugs and medical devices? Would you be able to provide the committee with some examples of these transparent measures?
