Mr. Speaker, it is difficult to respond to such undifferentiated generalities, but I hope the member will know, among other things, that a science advisory board chaired by Dr. Roberta Bondar, a distinguished Canadian scientist, working with 15 or 20 other scientists at the top of their fields is now looking at the scientific capacity in Health Canada, including in the health protection branch.
We are committed to the safety of the public. We shall do what is required to ensure we have the scientific expertise to ensure that the highest standards of quality permeate every aspect of health care.
