The federal government has a tremendous role to play in terms of surveillance and our research data infrastructure. In fact, there is an undisputed role for the federal government. There is no province in the country that would argue with the federal government's collecting good solid surveillance data and making that data available so researchers could analyze the kinds of issues we're concerned about.
Presently we have tremendous holes and gaps in our surveillance infrastructure in Canada. For example, we don't know how many heart attacks we have in a year in this country. We have no idea.
