I'm surprised.
I've just done an access to information and privacy request and I asked for all information—reports, briefing notes, and e-mails—regarding the consensus workshop. The response was that after a thorough search for the requested information, no records were located that responded to my request. So I'll further dig into this. Thank you.
I'm going to continue if that's okay.
On May 5, 2010, the MS Society called on the government to provide $10 million for research into CCSVI. Quoting from the release, it said: “The request for funding comes as Canadians with MS continue to seek diagnostics and treatment for CCSVI elsewhere, paying out-of-pocket for tests and experimental therapies that could be provided in Canada.” And it also said, “The MS community has spoken. They want access to diagnostics and treatment for CCSVI in Canada.”
Has the $10 million ever been given by the government?
