Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. I want to thank all the witnesses for being here today to shed some light on this important, amazing, and somewhat controversial topic. We certainly appreciate all their expertise.
I have two questions, Mr. Chair. One is fairly short, and one is a little lengthier. I'm going to ask both my questions and give all the witnesses a chance to respond if they so wish.
First, at this time, how is consent obtained from gamete and embryo donors? Is there a standard procedure in place across the country?
The second one is a multi-part question. Are you satisfied that you were given an opportunity to comment on the proposed regulations under section 8? Were your comments or concerns addressed?
I'd like you to use the five minutes. For those of you who feel changes need to be made to section 8 of the assisted human reproduction regulations, this is an opportunity for you to reiterate the need for certain changes.
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
