Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
Thank you, witnesses, for being here this morning. My question goes to the Canadian Anesthesiologists' Society. It was stated in the news that Minister Aglukkaq did not respond to your letter. We have a copy of the minister's response to your organization from September 7, 2011, explaining all the action she has taken to encourage the industry association to come up with their plan to share drug shortage information. I understand you sent out a follow-up letter just a couple of weeks ago, on March 6. I understand that the response to your letter is being drafted at the present time.
Do you not think that the minister and her department were busy 24/7 dealing with this drug shortage, trying to address the shortage on the ground, identifying suppliers and fast-tracking approvals so that patients get the medication they require? Can you comment on it?
