Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
My first question is to Dr. Chidwick, and I want to thank you for serving on Health Canada's expert panel.
I am looking at the report that has been submitted from your panel to the minister, and the first recommendation says, “The panel felt that questions regarding the potential health effects of any exposure to low molecular weight silicones had not been sufficiently addressed”.
Seeing that this is the first recommendation, and it seems to me to be very strong, do you understand that to mean that the panel is suggesting to the minister he not approve these applications at this time?
