Mr. Speaker, the hon. member is well known for her interest and advocacy of women's rights. I believe the hon. member as well as other members of the House will be happy to learn that my department has now changed the policy.
In the past it was not mandatory for women to be included for the purposes of drug trials. As of yesterday it is now mandatory that all drug companies will have to include women in their various test trials before they make submissions to have their drugs approved.
