Merci, monsieur le président.
When Air Canada or WestJet buys a new airplane from Airbus or Boeing, or Embraer or Bombardier--Bombardier is my exception--the Government of Canada has the courtesy of recognizing that aviation experts in the United States, Europe, the United Kingdom, or France are competent enough that when their own industry makes a new aircraft it will not be subjected in Canada to the same rigorous testing that the aircraft has been through in the United States, if it's Boeing, or in Europe, if it's Airbus.
Why do we need to start from scratch, Mrs. Dodds, testing new medications, vaccines, coming from countries where their scientific tradition is at least as good or better than the one in Canada? If a vaccine has been invented in France, the United Kingdom, the United States, or Germany, how can we justify to the taxpayer that your little scientists will start from scratch trying to define if it is useful or dangerous? Why don't we trust the other countries and stop spending money on research that doubles what people sometimes better than us have already done?
