Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thanks to each of the presenters who have been here. My special thanks to Michelle and Sarah for having the fortitude to come and tell us their story and to advocate for others, to help them.
My first question would be to Mr. Upshall. You talked about a lack of expertise in the CDR when you're looking at drugs that are needed for your particular area. Are there drugs available in other countries that are not available in Canada because of this? Are some of the drugs that are being reviewed basically by CDR and rejected being picked up by the provinces? Are they being approved at the provincial level? Or are we as Canadians just not having the use of the drugs that other countries are having?
