Thank you very much, Chair, and thank you, Minister, for coming out.
One key issue that has been brought to our attention is the cost to the health care system. As we learned today, GE Healthcare notified customers today of a price increase. We know the alternative procedures also put a fair amount of burden on the health care system.
Has there been any costing done to indicate how much this will impact the provincial and territorial governments? If so, does the federal government have a plan to work with its counterparts provincially to help alleviate some of the financial burdens they're facing with these increases in isotopes and with the alternative procedures that are being suggested in order to deal with the crisis?
