Mr. Speaker, as the member knows, this is a provincial jurisdiction. The provinces decide whom they want to do business with.
At this level right now, the federal government works with all international counterparts, such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, to identify additional sources of supply and to share needed safety and quality information to assist the provinces. It also provides priority access to alternatives on an emergency basis.
Federal jurisdiction and provincial jurisdiction are very important, and the Minister of Health has shown real leadership in ensuring that both jurisdictions are addressed in the proper way.
