First off, I have to say that I agree with you completely: the industry has an important role to play. I also think that experience has been gained, both by SMEs and by multinationals such as ours.
I'm speaking on behalf of Medtronic Canada only. Since the company has a global presence, we've been in contact with different health care systems. Our expertise in this regard has allowed us to see how this has been done with the industry.
As I said in my introduction, if the industry wants to move forward, it must be seen not only as a supplier, but also as a true partner that can offer solutions without putting our health care system at risk. Indeed, it must remain public. We are very proud of the current health care system.
In my opinion, it would be horrible to do without another eligible party, either the supplier or the industry, in order to ask about certain solutions related to the future. We should start doing that immediately.
