Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would like to thank all the panel members for coming here and shedding some light on this issue.
On June 16, 2016, Health Canada granted Canadian Blood Services and Héma-Québec the authorization to change the donor criteria for MSM from requiring a deferral period of five years to a period of one year. What kind of donor increase did you have you changed from the indefinite deferral to five years? Do you have any data proving that the number of donors went up when you reduced that to one year from five years?
