Mr. Speaker, I rise on a question of privilege. In response to my question today regarding the testing of the generic version of Cipro, the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Health gave his assurances to the House that the generic version was in fact safe.
With all due respect, we have just learned that in response to a similar question in the other place the leader of the government acknowledged that the testing process for the generic version of Cipro has been fast tracked by Health Canada and that the tests were not yet conclusive.
The government is giving us different answers. Members of the House deserve clear and uniform answers from the government. I would like the government to clarify its position on this matter.
It is a question of information, but if the government wants people to know what has to be done and where it is headed, clear answers are necessary.
