Madam Chair, the MS Society made an announcement on June 11 to support further research. The MS Society of Canada and the MS Society in the United States say the following:
These new studies are necessary because we don’t yet know whether, or if so how, CCSVI contributes to MS disease activity.
We will continue to support these types of research in Canada and we will bring in the international community to respond to this possible new procedure. We will continue to work with MS societies in the United States and Canada to do further research.
To answer the question the member is raising, we need to bring in the research community, and that is what we will do.
