Mr. Speaker, the government thinks it is absolutely shameful the amount of neglect allowed to occur in terms of focusing on questions of women's health.
When it comes to breast cancer during this past budget exercise we have been able to keep the moneys we have so we can continue to invest in research and other services having to do with women and breast cancer. Not only that, we are looking at reallocating funds so we can do even more.
As to specific red book commitments, I will refer to the centres of excellence on women's health. We are about to launch the process for the site selections for the centres of excellence. These centres of excellence will link together researchers, policymakers, health professionals and women's groups across the country so we can better focus dollars we have.
