How is this consultation different from what took place at the workshop in November, 2004?
A9: The 2004 Workshop on the Reimbursement of Expenditures for Sperm and Egg Donors served as an initial discussion focussed mostly on the policy intent for the reimbursement of expenditures, and its implications for the supply of donor gametes in Canada. The workshop did not address the issue of surrogate mothers, which is included in this consultation. This consultation is being undertaken to receive comments on proposed policy options in order to develop proposed regulations.
