Thank you, Madam Chair. Perhaps I could clarify.
The agency continues to serve as a national centre of expertise on assisted human reproduction. There are many activities the agency has been doing beyond the two that have been mentioned. We have an active program working with the professional and the patient community on preventing multiple births due to infertility treatments. We have an active program with the oncofertility community, trying to ensure that for young people who have cancer early in life, their fertility can be preserved so that they too can experience a family. We are also working with the field and with patient groups on the lifestyle factors that affect infertility. We are awaiting the results of the Statistics Canada survey that was supported by the agency to see whether or not infertility is actually staying the same, increasing, or decreasing in this country. We continue to work with the professional community, for example, to look at now alternate mechanisms for standardization of approaches in this very important field.
Thank you, Madam Chair.
