Mr. Speaker, the fact is that over the last number of years we have spent over $1 billion on cancer control. The fact is that this year alone, the CIHR, the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, is providing over $80 million for research in cancer. The fact is we have also provided $50 million going forward for the next five years to actually work on the elements of a Canadian cancer strategy.
