Mr. Chairman, could we possibly add a name to the witness list? Another problem concerning breast implants has been brought to my attention. I've been told that women who want to have their implants removed because they are experiencing some problems have had to wait for the procedure. In Ontario, the procedure is performed free of charge, because it is covered under OHIP, but surgeons are so busy performing implant surgery that they don't have time to operate on other women who want the procedure reversed. One woman contacted Dr. Brown, who sits on a panel of experts. She has an appointment scheduled with him in December 2006, but he will not be able to remove her implants until December 2007. She is in pain, but cannot have her implants removed because the surgeon is too busy performing implant surgery on other women. I'd like us to have more information about this matter.
Another concern in the whole question of MRI machines...
