Absolutely. Thank you for this question, because it's really, really important. I'll give you two quick examples that are easy to understand.
In 2006, I was president of the obstetrics and gynecology society of Quebec, and we made a presentation to the government to have the hormonal IUD covered. That was a long time ago, in 2006, and in other provinces it's still not covered. These methods have made an amazing change in the teenage pregnancy rate, because they are very, very effective. Once the IUD is there, it's there to stay. Now we can leave it there for up to seven years, unless the woman wants to remove it.
Every one of these methods has some advantages and some side effects that sometimes adolescents or women don't like. That's why having all medication covered will really help us fit the need.
As you said, now I have a Canadian position, and my heart is broken when I hear that, because since 2006 we've been putting in IUDs, and women are happy. There's a decreased rate of hysterectomies. There are a lot of good side effects, like decreased bleeding. It changes women's lives.
That's a good example of what needs to be done.
