Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman.
Dr. Sharma, I would like to know, first of all, whether in your view Health Canada has some responsibility regarding the health and well-being of Canadians and Quebeckers in general.
Also, among the requirements in order to make a special access application for breast implants, the physician and the patient must both sign the application form. Such being the case, how is it that there is no particular space on the form for the patient's signature?
Moreover, we have seen in a news story broadcast by Radio-Canada that physicians do not advise the patient that she must sign an application to obtain breast implants. How do you explain this?
