Thank you, Chair.
I'd like to thank all the panellists who are here before us right now, and all the panellists we've met with, for the passion they have brought to these consultations—the knowledge, the experience. The presentations have been excellent and they've been great for us.
I have to say that I'm so proud of this committee and the way we've worked together collaboratively—all parties and staff—to open this up to the public. There are a number of ways that we do that. We do that here through our committee work as we travel across the country, as well as through our website with the portal. As Mr. Van Kesteren said, many of you represent tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of Canadians, through your presentations.
My first question is to Mrs. Neal.
In a letter that your organization wrote to Minister Dion, Minister Freeland, Minister Philpott, and Minister Bibeau, you expressed that if the TPP is ratified, it would be the most harmful trade agreement ever for access to medicine. Before you answer that, we've also heard from others. We had the canola people here earlier in the first panel, and we asked them to quantify how many jobs this would bring to their industry. In an industry of about 250,000 today, they said it would bring in another 22,000 good-paying jobs to that industry.
Have you quantified what this would cost in terms of health care costs, in dollars?
