There were issues raised in the standing committee's report. I have heard it verbally. I wanted to make reference to some of the comments made in the report. I have asked the chairman of the committee to provide me with a copy of the report. He is doing that now.

Referring to the Standing Committee on Legislation's report regarding this bill, the committee was concerned that the position of substitute consent givers for the disclosure of health records was not clear under the legislation. The committee questioned the rationale for not placing a new "substitute care givers" clearly within the jurisdiction of the good faith provisions. Has this issue been clarified?
