Thank you, sir.
Mr. Sher, I would like to go slightly off topic from pharmacare briefly and ask you a question about plasma donors being compensated, given the attention that has received lately and the vocal activism we have seen opposing the opening of certain paid donation facilities.
However, at the same time I understand that a significant portion of Canadian plasma products have long come from paid sources in the U.S., and safely. Can you inform the committee where Canadian Blood Services stands on the role of paid plasma here in Canada?
