The classification to schedule 3 was a big surprise to all of us working on Leishmania in the country. There was a big mobilization. There were just about 12 labs in the country working on Leishmania. After our contact with Health Canada and Mr. Hynes, whom I just met here today, they went back to their papers and found that there was no reason to classify Leishmania as a level 3 pathogen. That's something we had told them before, but they had to do the search and they realized it.
You wonder why they classified that pathogen as level 3. What was the reason?
