Mr. Speaker, Canada still very much supports the code. As the hon. member may know, it was in 1981 that the World Health Assembly met and discussed this matter. Member states were instructed to adapt the principles of that code to their own domestic situations.
Here in Canada we had unanimous agreement between the Government of Canada and the provincial governments that that should be done through promotion, education and collaboration. That is what we have done. Over the years Health Canada for its part has done everything it can to promote breast feeding as the most natural and appropriate way of infant nutrition.
