Thank you, Madam Chair.
As the member knows, a lot of work has gone into dealing with the shortage in the Tc-99 supply. Thanks to the tremendous efforts of the health care community, Canada continues to cope with the medical isotope shortage of Tc-99.
We've heard reports from the provinces and territories and the medical community that while they have found some periods to be difficult, mitigation measures we had adopted and put in place to respond to the lower supply have been assisting. We recognize that there is a challenge as a result of the ongoing situation, but Health Canada will continue to work with the provinces and territories.
To answer the member's question, no proposal has been received from PTs regarding funding.
Thank you.
