While I support what Madame Demers is trying to accomplish here, I just have a little bit of trouble with the last paragraph in her motion, which states that we're asking the Minister of Health to tighten the conditions of the special access program by allowing surgeons to obtain silicone gel implants only for post-cancer breast reconstructions.
I wouldn't feel comfortable overriding the diagnosis that a surgeon would put forward. I think we need to make an amendment in regard to that, to broaden it a little bit, and not be seen as overriding the judgment of a surgeon who specializes in that area. Perhaps we could say, “to obtain silicone gel implants for other than breast augmentations”.
