Thank you again for the opportunity to continue the dialogue on this very important question.
As I said, there's no change. Blood used for transfusion by both the Canadian Blood Services and Héma-Québec is collected only from volunteer donors. Plasma is also collected from donors and used in the manufacturing of pharmaceutical products, blood products that are very necessary, and there is an increasing demand for those products.
Historically, in Canada, 70% of those products have, in fact, been sourced from compensated plasma donors. Many of them come from the U.S., because Canada is, in fact, not self-sufficient. But also in Canada...there is one long-standing instance in Manitoba. There's a Canadian company that has, in fact, manufactured a plasma product for compensation.
