Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Health.
Today on World AIDS Day, she will know that there has been great concern about the prospects for long term research into the area of HIV and AIDS.
The funding at this point goes to 1998, but the minister will know that research has to be done in a longitudinal manner over a period of time. Would the minister today state specifically what her plans are to ensure that there is a long term plan and strategy in place for AIDS research?
