I would agree with Dr. Douville, and it is the opinion of the public health network and the folk who are working on our Canadian pandemic influenza plan that the Quarantine Act is not going to keep pandemic influenza out of Canada. In all likelihood, the first cases we actually identify are going to be second-, third-, or fourth-generation cases, and by the time we pick it up, it's going to be spread in our communities.
