Thank you, Mr. Chair.
The first point I'd like to make is that there is no moratorium on breast implants. That is actually not correct. Also, Health Canada acts as the regulator for medical devices, and it has not completed its review of the application of the licences for these products.
The other point I'd like to make is that it is ultimately the minister's responsibility under the Food and Drugs Act and its regulations, not the committee's. I think it would be a better use of the committee's time to focus on Bill C-5. Let's get that through, and then move on to issues such as this.
Thank you.
