Not really. We had to deal with the blood crisis and we had an inquiry into that. We had the AIDS issue and we had the smoking programs, but in terms of this particular virus that has hit us as a country, that has hit the world, I haven't seen anything like it.
If you go back in history and look at what the World Health Organization has studied, whether it be smallpox or whatever, this is quite rare in terms of Canadian society. I think there are so many lessons that we're going to learn as a result of this particular virus hitting us the way it has, but I don't think we can miss the opportunity.
We can talk about framework; we can talk about consultation; we can talk about programs, but unless there are statutory obligations on individuals and providers and health care organizations, it will be all for naught. When people have to lay a report before the Parliament of Canada and tell members of Parliament what they have done with that $250 million on research, or whatever it is, that's an obligation they take quite seriously.
I'm all in favour of better frameworks and better communications, but without statutory obligations, we will not hit our objectives.
