Thank you for that question. I'll leave the political issues and whatever for the people who are working on that, so you'll have to speak to them about it.
I'm the co-chair of the advisory committee on AMR of the Public Health Agency of Canada. The PCAP, the pan-Canadian action plan, was released two years ago. A lot of work has been done on that.
Canada is a beautiful country and I love being here, but the reality is, as you know very well, that health and agriculture are under provincial jurisdiction. We need to work together on this framework. It's not only that we need to work federally—and we need leadership on it federally....
I was involved in a report that we did for the Public Health Agency of Canada, led by Dr. Gerry Wright and Andrew Morris, on what organization we need in Canada to do this. This report is collecting dust at this moment—you will have to ask other people why that is the case—but there are ideas on how to get this done.
I'm worried about current federal spending going toward security. This important security issue will not get enough funding to continue. That's a worry we all have in this area. As the others have mentioned, with the wars and everything that is going on, it is important that this gets funded. Bucks don't stop at borders. We need to look at that as well.
