My understanding is that in 2019, Allergan issued a voluntary recall of its breast implants.
Maybe I have this all wrong here. I went to the Health Canada website. There is a recall policy for health products. I would have thought this policy would apply to breast implants, but correct me if I'm wrong. It requires that the responsible party, which I assume is Allergan, is expected to take action in a manner that is prompt. They are expected to have a recall procedure. They are expected to maintain distribution records that allow tracing of the devices.
To Ms. Elliott specifically, I think you said that there were 15,000 people in Quebec who had implants. A lot of them hadn't been contacted. What exactly did Allergan do? Perhaps I'm wrong in my interpretation of the medical devices regulations and our recall policy for health products, but it would seem to me that they have an obligation to be doing that. What, if anything, did they do, to your knowledge?
I know they're not here, but you can say it from your perspective?
