Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I have read through your comments, and I thank you for them. I would ask if you could just help me figure out one piece. It may not even be a piece that belongs on your plate, but I need help with the answer.
I've learned that being paranoid doesn't make me wrong. Do I read this to be that the responsibility for reporting an implant that has failed rests in the hands of the manufacturer who is doing the focus groups, the reports, the analyses? That's my first question.
I see they're surveying Canadian plastic surgeons who use the implants. But the survey is only on the effectiveness of the aids and brochures, not on the effectiveness of the implants. I am somewhat concerned about how we, as a responsible federal government, would have a true way of knowing if we are in difficulty--as we were last time--if reporting rests only in the hands of the manufacturer.
