Mr. Chairman, the motion is drafted this way because we want our reasons for asking the minister to postpone her decision to be clearly stated. We're talking about real documented cases, not about mere rumours or allegations. That's important to bear in mind.
I'm not a doctor or an expert, but it's important to remember that Health Canada receives $41 million per year to approve licensing requests. It's not normal for the department to act as both judge and defendant. Therefore, we must insist that the minister assume her responsibilities, postpone her decision and wait until we have definitive proof that these breast implants are not a health hazard.
