Thank you very much, Chair.
Thank you to everyone for being here again today. This legislation, sadly, is being pushed quickly without adequate consultation, but that's a whole other story.
Dr. Wong-Rieger, could I start with you, please? I tried to make a point here yesterday, and sadly, when the minister was here and two officials, they couldn't answer questions about the drug approval process. You talked a lot—not a lot but a fair bit—about the approval process and how long it takes in Canada.
Could you explain, perhaps, for the members on behalf of all Canadians how we're falling behind on how long it takes to get drugs approved in Canada?
