I guess the health committee has no May Wests or steaks.
Thank you, Madam Chair.
I would like to thank the witnesses for their presentations this morning.
I am replacing Ms. Sellah. I am not a specialist, but I was fascinated by your passion and all these technological advances in the health field.
Dr. Beaudet, what I particularly appreciated—and this is probably quite related to your mandate—were the explanations concerning your work. It is very concrete and you speak often about the patient.
In fact, the main question that people who aren't familiar with the subject may ask when they hear this conversation is that if we are truly talking about the patient, the goal is that every Canadian's troubles be relieved. You did a good job of summarizing the fact that it would be very productive to resolve back problems and depression in general.
I would like to ask you, Ms. Sabourin, how long have you been working in your directorate?
