Well, Mr. Chair, I agree with everything that Mr. Fletcher has just said, which really runs contrary to the entire spirit of this motion. I don't know if this is amendable so I could support it. I'm not going to support the motion, but I want to explain to Ms. Demers and this committee why not.
Just very simply, I agree with the parliamentary secretary. It needs to be determined whether or not these implants are safe or unsafe, rather than getting into the validity of who should qualify and for what reasons, whether they be for reconstructive surgery or for augmentation.
Madam Demers, I see from your body language that you don't agree with me—but I think their safety is the key, and that needs to be determined. Perhaps you agree with this point, that we need a decision from the department, yes or no. Granted, you're saying that in the meantime, before that decision is made, and along the lines of Ms. Dhalla's comments, that it be approvable other than for augmentation.
I guess what I'm pushing for here is: let's have a decision, and get away from this special access program altogether. Let's have a decision: they're safe or they're not safe. That's why I'm not going to support it, but I wanted you to know why.
