You mean like a call for federal national coordination or leadership, which leads into my next question, which is for Ms. Wong-Rieger.
You said three million Canadians have rare diseases, not including their families. I wrote down that rare diseases are quite common, it seems to me. That being said, you mentioned that basically we've heard continuous promises from the federal government since 2012. You heard the excerpts I read about how the federal government, Health Canada, announced it was developing an orphan drug framework in 2012. Consultations were to be complete by 2017, but in October 2017 under the current government, all references to that framework were deleted, and now it's been wrapped into something else.
Why is it so difficult to get action from the federal government, and what's your comment on Health Canada's apparent scrubbing of the system that began in 2012 and a complete retooling, rebeginning of this process in 2017 with now a new target date which, I think we heard from Health Canada, is 2021? We are at about nine or ten decades before getting federal leadership on this. What's your comment on that?
