Ms. Gulenchyn, I'd like to come back to the fact that health impacts were already taking place by the time Parliament acted, in spite of what Mr. Perry wants us to believe.
I should also point out that Mr. Perry hasn't been entirely clear on whom he represents. He was an NDP cabinet minister in British Columbia for three years, I think, in the 1990s. I would suspect he's here for more than just his respect for Parliament, as he said.
We have a story in the Hamilton Spectator from December 13. It said:
The four city hospitals that perform imaging procedures—McMaster, Henderson, Hamilton General and St. Joseph's Healthcare—see about 60 patients a day.
When the shortage hit, that had dropped to 12 patients already.
You've talked a bit about the other 48 cases. Some of them would not have involved essential treatments, but it is clear that there was an impact. It was already taking place. People can't say it wasn't. We were getting anecdotal evidence of nuclear health care people being sent home because they didn't have access to the materials.
Can you comment on that a bit further?
