Mr. Speaker, I thank the parliamentary secretary for his question.
I totally agree with him. Indeed, we must work together to be better equipped to respond to pandemics of deadly diseases. However, this does not mean simply working together here in Canada, with Quebec and the other provinces. We must all work together on a global level.
It is the WHO that establishes guidelines for the various stakeholders in the world to guide them in their choices and in the development of their own policies.
In Quebec, we have an institute, the National Institute of Public Health. It works quite well. Of course, it calls on capabilities from outside Quebec. However, it is this institute that determines the guidelines for Quebec, since it knows its people best.
