Mr. Speaker, it is the hon. member whose concern is politics. I am focusing on science and the protection of Canadians.
The baseless allegations of the hon. member opposite just show the wisdom of the steps we took last week: announcing that we were to appoint an independent arm's length science advisory board; announcing a public consultation on the way the health protection branch does its job, including the approval of pharmaceuticals; and a complete freeze on further cuts to the branch.
That is the responsible way to go about looking after the health of Canadians.
