This letter says, “My officials and experts at the B.C. Centre for Disease Control have reviewed this bill, and the following comments are based on that review.” I am sure I don't need to remind you or any of your officials that the B.C. Centre for Disease Control was at the lead of dealing with the SARS problem, is widely respected across the country, and is credited with how few mortalities we had in British Columbia compared with elsewhere. When that respected an organization gives this strong feedback, I believe it's incumbent on your organization to consult properly and include the views of the Province of British Columbia.
