I welcome Dr. Scally, Dr. Denton and Ms McEntee. I thank the witnesses for coming in to the committee and I thank them for a very good report. Well done to them all.
Many of my specific questions have been asked. I am quite concerned that confidence in the system has been lost. Besides the implementation of the recommendations, what else do the witnesses believe can be done? I would hate if women were to ask why bother getting tested. Going forward, what else can be done besides the implementation of the report's recommendations? Do the witnesses still maintain that there should not be a commission of inquiry? If they were to go back, would they change, add or take away any recommendations?
