You're right that this is an important issue. Certainly many of us hear from...and in certain parts of Canada in particular it's a real challenge. I'm pleased that we were able to host a conference recently to develop a federal framework on Lyme disease. The draft report associated with that has recently been proposed.
There are many things that we as a federal government can do, of course, and we will work toward those. I'll ask my public health colleagues to expand on that, to a certain extent. A great deal of work needs to be done in public education and making people aware of the risks. There are ways that we're doing that through the Public Health Agency, but we're also working with provincial and territorial partners to get the message out to Canadians on how to prevent Lyme disease. A lot of work also needs to be done with health care providers, to make sure they recognize it early, get the diagnosis, and get the treatment to people.
