Thank you.
Thank you, Madam Minister.
Again, one of the things I'd like to talk about is Canada catching up with the world with regard to medical testing using animals. There's a growing body of evidence that 95% of those that have used animal testing for drugs have not led to successful rates. There are questions as to how efficient the drug testing is and whether or not Canada's scientific community should play a role in pushing non-animal testing. How do you feel about having a centre for alternatives to animal testing?
Have you considered, and are there currently any plans to look at how we can be innovators and advance that issue, or is the government not interested in that right now?
