Yes, it's going to be in French.
Thank you.
First of all, thank you very much for being here today. This is an extremely interesting issue.
Ms. Blackstock, your testimony was truly captivating, and it is more than welcome. I was very touched by it.
We have begun our study of the issue of organ donations and transplants. I do not want to be negative, but I have one remark.
I would like to know what keeps you up at night. You are professionals with many years of experience in your field. I realize that working in isolation is problematic. The provinces and the organizations are working separately. I understand from your presentations that there are many organizations. However, I've noticed a lack of efficiency in the results.
Personally, I'm all about results. If managers look at these results over a long period of time, they would ask themselves if any major progress has been made. The percentages are important because there are few donors. In Quebec, we have 173 donors. One is always better than none, but, if some were to be added to the list, then the percentage would soar.
Canadian Blood Services is responsible for providing leadership in Canada. I've already met some people from this organization, and I look forward to meeting them again. Does this leadership translate into public awareness? Canadian Blood Services has not been involved in any public awareness activities for a long time. Yet this is part of their responsibilities.
How do you see this? What is the trigger?
I've already taken two minutes to ask you this very broad question, and I only have five minutes. Any of the witnesses can answer.
