Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
Ladies, I can confirm that the committee was eager to question you.
Ms. Caron, who was on the previous panel, said that there was a difference between available services and recommended services. Those words stuck with me, especially since they are related to our study.
You are here today, but the Standing Committee on Health also conducted a study on women's health. I've had discussions with my colleague Mr. Thériault, who sits on the Standing Committee on Health. I was part of the women's health study myself, and I know that the recommendation for screening from age 40 is in the report. Other committees have looked at this. We've heard that from a number of witnesses as well.
I'd like to ask you some questions from survivors or people living with cancer. Whom did you consult? Did you make sure that women with higher cancer rates were represented? Did you make sure representation was diverse? We talked about the difference between white women, Indigenous women, racialized women and African women. Women have different backgrounds and different baggage; some of them have a family history and some don't. Have you sought out diverse views from survivors or people living with cancer?
