Thank you very much to all of you for your comments. They were very informative and helpful in this important area. Many of you have done a tremendous amount of work, so the information you have provided is going to help many members on this committee.
I want to ask you a question on the national pharmaceutical strategy. During the first ministers conference in 2004, it was stated that a report had been brought forward by the Ministers of Health in consultation with various stakeholders on this strategy. I believe that report is due in the next ten days, and as of this date, none of us has seen that report. In talking to stakeholders, I don't know anyone who has been consulted.
As individuals with a tremendous amount of experience in research in this particular area, have you been consulted by Health Canada or any of the other individuals involved in putting that national pharmaceutical strategy draft report together?
