British Columbia has good working relationships with our colleagues in public health in the contiguous states south of the border. We have regular twice-yearly public health emergency planning meetings, either in B.C. or in Washington, in Portland, Oregon, or in Idaho. We have good relationships with Alaska to the north, as well. We share databases and information between laboratories and public health physicians.
Nationally, I think you would have to address that question to Dr. David Butler-Jones or Dr. Howard Njoo. My understanding is that there are very good channels of communication between the Public Health Agency of Canada and the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta, Georgia.
