What I understood is that physicians in the different provinces will have the responsibility, together with their patients, to ascertain to what degree the patients have fully understood what they were getting into. In case of a punctured implant, who is responsible for compensating the patients? For example, if a patient is suing her physician, what is the responsibility of Health Canada who authorized the marketing of an implant that was questionable in terms of its safety for women?
