Mr. Speaker, I hope my hon. colleague is not asking me to draft regulations here on the floor of the House of Commons this evening. I am sure if he talks to the officials at Health Canada, because they are not going to do the job themselves, obviously--
They need someone to do it for them. I am disappointed if there are not officials at Health Canada, or perhaps the Department of Justice, who could do that kind of drafting for them. The Government of Canada has a responsibility to inspect drugs and to make sure that Canadians have a supply of safe drugs. That is its responsibility.
If the Conservatives have moved in this direction at all, why can they not bring in mandatory reporting of shortages? If they are not prepared to do that, then we are going to have a serious problem. It is time for them to take action and stop making excuses, which is all we have heard tonight.
