Thank you, Madam Chairperson.
Thank you very much for being here. I know you've had a lot of requests to appear before different committees, and it's taking you away from time you need to spend sorting out this problem. Hopefully out of today I think we have to get some recommendations that this committee can take to the government before we recess tomorrow at two in the afternoon. Otherwise the summer will come and go and we won't have come any closer to the solution.
I want to start with you, Dr. Urbain. You've mentioned several recommendations. You suggested that regarding the $28 million recently announced to go into researching alternatives, there were already international studies showing that these alternatives are really not effective anyway. So you're suggesting that $28 million be put instead into meeting the demand for about 100,000-plus PET scans in this country. Is that what you're saying?
