Thank you, Madam Chair.
I want to respond to what you said, Mr. Mendelson.
I don't think I'm quite as optimistic as you are. I don't think it's possible to set up a data system like the one you described in seven months.
I say that because the problems the Quebec government had when setting up its health records program come to mind. The system cost hundreds of millions of dollars and still isn't reliable. So I would have to put a bit of a damper on your enthusiasm because I doubt a system of that nature could be put in place in the short timeframe you referred to.
Would you like to respond to that?
