Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank the member for Cumberland—Colchester for that speech and his leadership on this issue before the health committee.
The public may not know, but the matter that is presently under debate in the House is one that was moved at the health committee in the middle of a study on breast cancer screening guidelines. It was moved pre-emptively, before the study was completed. As luck would have it, the draft report is presently before the committee and is being reviewed.
This is an example of a piece of work that has been undertaken very much on a non-partisan basis and probably represents the good work that can happen here when Canadians are put first and party differences are put aside.
I would like to invite my hon. colleague to talk a bit about the evidence that was heard at the committee before and after this report was tabled, and his expectations and hopes for the recommendations that will come out of the final report on this issue.
