Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Amnotte, I understand from your last statement that everyone, that is to say doctors, colleges of doctors and governments, needs to be made aware of your particular situation. I understand that.
We looked into the matter and we realized that little research has been done on health prevention for firefighters. In fact, very little research and very few systematic research programs have been undertaken in Canada, except at the University of Ottawa and McGill University.
I feel that the federal government could, sooner or later, also be made aware of this situation and fund more research on occupational health and safety prevention and exposure.
We also talked about the flame retardants used in the production of all kinds of household goods.
I'd like to know if you have a position on that, on long-term investment in research, so that we know more about your situation.
