Mr. Speaker, across the country provincial medical officers of health, local authorities and, indeed, provincial ministers are well aware of the need to co-ordinate efforts and Health Canada is providing leadership in that regard.
Months before September 11, we sent the Ottawa model across the country. We have been engaged in training personnel across the country. The kind of strong response we need was shown here in Ottawa yesterday.
Health Canada is working to make sure that we provide that strong response wherever it is required.
