Thank you to everyone for coming here today.
Since we only have one question, I wanted to raise an issue that is important to many of my constituents in Brampton—Springdale. As you may or may not know, in Brampton, we've built one of the largest and newest hospitals in the country. We have seen a tremendous number of challenges at that hospital, in terms of the wait times and in terms of the services that have been received. The hospital has done a great job in trying to work with the community to rectify these.
Most recently, there was a woman who had the wrong leg amputated. It is a serious, serious issue. Even though the delivery is supposed to be provincial, we wrote to the Minister of Health requesting that she visit the hospital to see it first hand and to get an insight on how severe the challenges are. We were quite astonished to receive her response that she did not have time. I would ask the deputy minister, who I know is very passionate about health care and about delivery, to ensure the message is passed on that there are some serious challenges out there.
My colleague, Dr. Duncan, spoke about the 2014 health care agreement. You stated that there is no formal discussion going on at this point, only through the Senate. I find that very alarming. We are three years away and I can tell you that every Canadian across the country is very concerned and worried.
The question I have actually is on another important public health issue in regard to organic chicken. We had a variety of stakeholders before us at our last meeting. They sounded a bit of an alarm in terms of what's going on in the industry. I wanted to ask Dr. Butler-Jones about organic chicken, which people assume is very safe. They were saying there are not the same monitoring mechanisms for people who sell organic chicken that there are for chicken sold off the market. They were saying that only 97% of the producers are actually in compliance with the protocols that have been established by the Public Health Agency. What happens to the other 3%? What's going on with the producers of organic chicken?
