Mr. Speaker, that makes it difficult to ask a nasty question.
It has been eight years since a royal commission recommended that the government develop a framework for the regulation of reproductive and genetic technology.
As we all know, these technologies have an enormous impact on human health, both for good and for bad, and yet Canada lacks a regulatory framework or lags behind a number of other countries in providing that regulatory framework.
My question is for the Minister of Health. Does the Minister of Health intend to bring forward a bill to provide that regulatory framework and if so, when?
