Thank you.
And thanks for your presentation. This is clearly an effort by the agency and the government to do some work for the public good with respect to protecting people from these products.
I do have some questions about jurisdiction. My first question would be this. Since provincial health care facilities, laboratories, and private labs that conduct tests for provincially covered health care are already provincially licensed and accredited, what's the rationale for licensing these facilities by the federal government as well? Why does there not appear to be a provision for equivalency agreements in the legislation?
