Thank you, Madam Chair.
Just by way of a little bit of information, we do monitor on an annual basis how well departments are doing on our recommendations. I'll turn to Health Canada specifically in a moment, but in general what we find—it's one of our performance indicators and we publish it in our own departmental performance report—is that, by and large, departments do listen to what we have to say. Our statistics have consistently shown the majority of our recommendations and such get acted on. That's the general case.
More specifically in this case, we have not recently returned to looking at the state of the monitoring of the Canada Health Act, which we looked at in 1999 and again in 2002, as the member has mentioned. So without further study, I wouldn't want to opine the extent to which we're satisfied with the action taken.
