Mr. Speaker, I wish we could be so confident for our Canadian troops.
Health Canada may have approved this but Health Canada certainly never tested it. Today we learned that General Kinsman, commander of the air force, said he would never have approved administering this vaccine if he had known that it had already been stale dated and that the stuff was out of date.
What on earth was the minister thinking when he asked that a mouldy anthrax vaccine be given to Canadian troops?
