Well, no. The clerk will tell me where it's supposed to go. Has the clerk seen it? I'm asking because I have to place it in wherever..... These fit in here, and I want to make sure that your amendment is in the right place.

This amendment, Madam Chair, would create a new paragraph 2(d). We just defeated one amendment on paragraph 2(d), so I'm submitting a new amendment that would create a new paragraph 2(d). I'll read it to you and then give it to you. I'm well aware that you have to do it in sequence. That's why I interrupted earlier--

--before we passed that line.
I'm sure this amendment is within the scope of the bill. Again, it's to get at this issue that we really need to address, that it's not just about information and awareness, but that we need to try to ensure there is follow-up. The new paragraph 2(d) would read,
...and including the need for more systematic follow-up procedures for women with heterogeneous or dense breast tissue.
I'll hand this over to the chair to take a look.
Again, the reason it was not submitted in writing earlier is that it is based on the testimony we heard today.

I think it would help to just flag that issue of the need for follow-up.

Would you mind sharing that with the whole committee? Because everyone is wondering....

We would just take out the word “and”, and start with the word “including”, so it would be correct grammatically.

Thank you very much, Madame Chair.
I think it's important that we all keep perspective here. We would all like to fix the system as well as we can, but any follow-up would be within the provincial jurisdiction. Actually, this could possibly infringe on the practice of medicine regarding the appropriate follow-up, so I would not be supporting this.
