Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses who are here today on our ongoing study.
One question I have asked of the various panels we've had on this topic was this. Given that health care is administered provincially and there are a number of limited ways we can provide a change of direction federally, I'd be interested in your input specifically on some of those areas, for example, the regulation of medical devices. We had one doctor, Dr. Ballagh, who expressed how difficult it is with the regulation of medical devices in Canada, but we had another one, Dr. Emad Guirguis, who said he thought it was much better in Canada than it was in the U.S.
I'd be interested in the experiences you may have had or opinions you have on federal regulations to medical devices. Obviously, a new device is potentially a form of innovation that could enhance sufficiency in health care, so we want to make sure we have the appropriate process in that regulation.
It's an open question to the panel.
