I 100% agree with the notion that screening is of the utmost importance. That was the context of my question for the witnesses today, and I fully agree. However, the fact remains that provincial and territorial governments are responsible for the delivery of health care, and that includes the provision of screening for cancers. Doing otherwise would be and has been considered an intrusion into areas of provincial and territorial jurisdiction. However, we submitted G-7 before BQ-3, so I don't completely disagree with the notion of having a conversation around it.
