I know that this committee will be hearing from our colleagues at Health Canada in the coming days. Many of these questions might be better put to them, because through their federal, provincial, and territorial contacts, they will be most closely working with the provincial and territorial health ministries. But I can tell you that the provinces and territories are working diligently on this issue. They are all seized of the issue. The overwhelming majority of them worked together to appoint a panel of independent advisers to make recommendations to them, so they are in discussions with each other. Internally, they are all following up as diligently as they can and I think there will be a real concerted effort to have everything in place in the appropriate time frames.
