I'd like to add something, madame la présidente.
I believe that a meeting of Canadian health ministers should be held, and that the federal government should provide each province with a sum of money—on a pro-rata basis—to ensure that PET technology can be implemented immediately.
The people from Alberta and Ottawa came here to tell you about excellent centres, models. But that is not what we see in the 245 centres in the rest of Canada. They do not have PET technology or options of that kind. Patients cannot be trucked from place to place. Furthermore, nuclear medical tests often cannot be scheduled: in 50% of the cases, they are urgent tests for which people cannot wait. That is where the danger lies. When you do not deal with national organizations, you do not get a global view of the problem.
Luckily, health is in provincial jurisdiction. In Quebec, we reached an agreement with our government to get an opinion from an association that brought together a number of partners rather than one individual adviser. Everyone gave their opinion on the issue and a consensus was reached. Now, our patients are better protected than elsewhere in Canada and have better access. Currently, in Canada, the best thing to do would be to hold a meeting of health ministers.
