Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman.
I believe that seven minutes will not be enough for me to ask all the questions I have.
First of all, I would like to thank you both for being here this morning. I think this will be a very significant meeting.
As I said, I have a number of questions and I don't know with which I should start since they all seem very important to me.
First of all, Mr. Peterson talked about harmonizing and combining all the legislation. If I may, Mr. Peterson, I would like to say that I do not really agree with you. In my view, the provinces sometimes go much further than the federal government. Quebec in particular is frequently a leader in many areas, and I cannot envisage a situation where we would have to be subject to the dictates of Ottawa.
Moreover, the issue of work product was mentioned by a number of witnesses. Representatives of IMS Health Canada even suggested a particular wording. What would the repercussions be if we were to pass the wording suggested by IMS? Have you read that wording?
