Thank you so much, Ms. Gladu, for the question. You may or may not be aware, but last week I had the opportunity of meeting with one of the thalidomide survivors while she was in Ottawa. It certainly again provided me a good opportunity to hear about her situation and also the struggles that many survivors have to live with on a daily basis. The time that I spent with Ms. Sampson was very precious to me because she certainly shared with me her perspective and some of the needs that they have as well.
With respect to that, as you're aware, I'm sure, the thalidomide survivor contribution program is helping 122 Canadians at this point in time, and out of those 122 Canadians, 25 have been identified using the objective review process, so that was a step in the right direction. I recognize as well that the committee has put in place recommendations, because you've studied this at the committee level, and once again I'm looking forward to reviewing those recommendations.
Also, when I met with Ms. Sampson, I indicated to her that I personally want to look into this matter to see exactly what else can be done in order to effectively help individuals.
