Thank you, Madam Chair, and thank you to the witnesses for your comments today.
I've asked a variety of panels on technological innovation about the federal regulation of medical devices. I want to get your feedback on that too. Obviously, a lot in health care is administered by the provinces. The one area in which we do have a direct role is the regulatory process. I know that we've heard comments on both sides.
I had one doctor, Dr. Rob Ballagh, say that it was extremely frustrating. I had another one, Dr. Emad Guirguis, who thought it was actually quite seamless, in his opinion, compared to the U.S.
Is this an area that we could improve on, and what type of improvements do you envision?
