Dr. Marc-André Gagnon

Something very important on reaping the reward is, yes, absolutely, but, as I said, we have a system right now that is focusing on providing incentives for drugs that do not provide any therapeutic improvement as compared to what already exists.

The Chair Conservative Rob Merrifield

That's fine.

I want to thank you, witnesses, for coming forward. It was a very interesting round.

Just to let the committee know, on the 27th we're asked to be in the House as we have a guest speaker in the House of Commons, so we'll probably suspend that meeting.

Have a great break, and we'll be back after that.

Thank you. The meeting is adjourned.
