Previous Feedback
Protocols are reviewed prior to publication by CanSAC and by an extensive number of stakeholders. Feedback from this process is collated in this excel file, which also includes the responses by the chair and authoring expert committee.  Each tab in the file reflects feedabck on a specific protocol (Note that the breast protocol did not go through a period of open consultation).

Updates will be made on a periodic basis to this table as feedback is received.
