Thank you, Madam Chair.
In regard to the situation with isotopes, we've been working very closely with the provinces and territories putting in mitigation measures. That said, we've also made significant investments in looking at alternatives to Tc-99 across the country. In the long term, we need to look at alternatives to Tc-99 to manage this global shortage of Tc-99. The problem is not going to go away overnight. That's why it is important for us to focus on alternatives to Tc-99 in partnership with the medical community across the country.
The mitigation measures we've been implementing have been working. We've been able to mitigate the supply disruption across the country. It's also important to note that we need to look at alternatives to Tc-99 in the delivery of health across the country.
Thank you.
