Minister, I'd like to talk to you about assisted human reproduction. I asked you a question in the House concerning three positions that were to be filled. However, I don't know whether you're going to announce appointments to those positions soon.
We criticized the composition of the agency's board of directors. In addition, the Infertility Awareness Association of Canada is disappointed because it has emphasized how important it is to obtain various opinions. You even said, in your address, that you are taking into account patients and patient advocates. Assisted human reproduction very much involves patient rights. Your good intentions are directed at the Infertility Awareness Association of Canada. That association is asking that people from various groups combating infertility sit on the board of directors.
Are you going to announce any good news, that is to say a balanced membership? Currently, it appears that the people who make up the committee are more opposed to abortion because, for them, that's a moral issue. That might put a brake on research. I don't mean to criticize people's moral opinions, but you nevertheless have to strike a certain balance.
