I’d like to clarify that I didn’t prepare an analysis per se, but I prepared a brief that sets out my arguments. I sent it to the committee, so you should be able to get hold of it.
I gave the example of a measure that I found in the literature, which was based on data from Canada and the United Kingdom. The data show that whole genome sequencing is one measure that could save $70 million annually in the Canadian context. This is a simple measure that we can implement. We have the technology. It’s one example of the many measures that could reduce costs. It's important to understand that this measure would save money. To help health systems, which are stretched to the limit, we need such measures, which will keep people healthy and bring health care costs down.
