Thank you, Chair.
I'd like to thank Mr. Cullen for his private member's bill. I appreciate his passion for this and to see phthalates removed. It's an admirable goal. We need to strike a balance of what is realistic, but I think heading in this direction is worthy.
The question I have is similar to Mr. Bigras'. In reading through Bill C-307, the exception is that medical devices would be included, other than blood bags. We've heard from the Canadian Blood Services that storage is cut almost in half if we don't have DEHP in the blood bags. Is that correct?
