Thank you, Madam Chair.
I would like to speak against this amendment.
In the comments I made to the witnesses earlier, I think I referred to the fact that at 50 years of age, I am receiving letters from the provincial screening program. This amendment is actually redundant. Most provinces and territories already have breast cancer screening in place. The screening happens every two years for women between the ages of 50 to 69.
Again, we've talked about the jurisdiction of the provinces. They set policy and standards related to breast cancer screening, not the federal government.
