I think as a woman, and having spoken to and having been in contact with a number of women across the country who have been impacted, I think we as a committee should be voting yes on this motion. When you take a look at some of the statistics, especially in light of the fact that over 70% of implants have been removed after 11 years because they were perforated, those are very alarming statistics. What we do in this committee with respect to this issue has a tremendous impact on many women in this country.
I think it's important that we show some leadership. I think it's important that we also ensure that next time around, if there is a next time when Health Canada puts together an expert advisory panel or a scientific advisory panel, it is unbiased and objective.
In light of some of the incidents that have occurred in the past, in addition also to the statistics we have, I think we should be supporting this motion.
