What I can say is, first of all, I am the deputy head of the Public Health Agency of Canada. I'm not in a position to comment on the participation of scientists across the country. I can comment on the work of the personnel that belong to the Public Health Agency. I can say that they're required to submit declarations of affiliations for research and also conflict of interest. If employees were in them, those types of talent programs are required to be declared. If they were declared, they would constitute a conflict of interest and would not be allowed, given the nature of the work.
In the case that's at issue today, scientists hid and, in fact, lied about those affiliations, and when they were discovered, those scientists were terminated because of that.
