Thank you.
Going back to the breast screening guidelines, in May 2023, before the expedited review of those guidelines had even started, Dr. Guylène Thériault, a member of the Canadian task force, told the Toronto Star that “she does not see any reason to change the guidelines”.
In addition, the task force working group has reportedly started to vote upon recommendations, even though the evidence review is incomplete.
Can you assure us, Minister, that you will act to ensure that any bias in the task force on the breast screening guidelines is effectively removed, so that Canadian women can get the best evidence available and the best breast screening guidelines that they can?
