Health committee  Thank you for your question. I also want to thank you for your bill that led us to the development of the diabetes framework in Canada. Specifically for data, we have some systems with which we collect information. I don't have the information about gestational diabetes, so I will have to get back to you and the committee on that.

Health committee  The selection of task force members is done through a selection committee. The chairs of the task force are part of that selection committee. There's also a representative from the Public Health Agency of Canada and one from the College of Family Physicians of Canada.

Health committee  Yes, I'm happy to take it. On November 15, the Canadian Task Force on Preventive Health Care, which is an arm's-length independent organization, announced to their members and the public that their guidelines had to be delayed until the spring of 2024. They had initially anticipated to release them in the fall, but because of the volume and complexity of the evidence that they're currently looking at, which includes looking at evidence for women with dense breasts and looking at health equity considerations, they determined that they needed a little bit more time, and the organization they're working with requested more time.

Health committee  I would just start with a clarification. It's the Canadian Task Force on Preventive Health Care. They develop a wide range of guidelines, including breast cancer screening guidelines. It's a subcommittee, a working group of the whole task force, that is developing the guidelines.

Health committee  Exactly, yes.

Health committee  My understanding is that there were always experts brought into the development of guidelines, but, in this one instance, I know that there are specifically four experts who are engaged in the working group, including three patients with life experience.
