Thank you, Mr. Chair and my colleagues. I appreciate the opportunity to make a few brief remarks.
I think it’s important that we recognize the committee felt very strongly that the Health Information Act is a very necessary piece of legislation in the era of electronic medical records. Because of the Information and Privacy Commissioner’s very strong recommendation that we needed this kind of legislation to cover privacy around health records, the committee felt it was important to bring this motion forward, and I just wanted to emphasize the importance of this. We have heard previously from the Minister that we will see something in the fall of 2013, and committee’s glad to hear that. We will certainly be watching to see whether or not the Minister produces a bill as he has promised.
