Mr. Speaker, the World Health Organization has called the pandemic influenza plan for Canada one of the best in the world. I believe that is because of the amazing cooperation of the federal-provincial-territorial committee on this. One of their strong recommendations was the purchase of antivirals.
I am pleased to announce to the House that the Minister of Health this afternoon will be announcing an unprecedented investment of $24 million into the purchase of stockpiled antivirals to make sure that we will be ready before the vaccines can be available.
