Mr. Speaker, we continue to strive to make the Canadian blood supply system safe. But let me tell you that there are many partners in this system. The role of Health Canada is to ensure that blood products are as safe as possible.
As for the Canadian Red Cross Society, its role is to keep a precise record of the blood products distributed. Hospitals also have a major role to play, as well as physicians, who are responsible for keeping their patients well informed.
For our part, we are examining our role as a regulating authority to make sure that all these people work together to ensure our blood supply system is the safest possible.
