Minister, it's a question of law and policy of the Government of Canada as to whether materials transfer agreements are required when we're sending material like this overseas. If you want to get back to the committee in writing about that, I would certainly appreciate it.
Mr. Gilmore raised these concerns, and he asked about how the materials were intended to be used.
Is there a policy, at the Government of Canada level, which requires verification of the intended use of materials that are sent, or is it the policy of the government that we simply trust the requesting lab about their stated intended uses?
