Mr. Speaker, health matters should always transcend politics and partisanship.
The minister and the Chief Public Health Officer of Canada are in regular contact with their provincial and territorial partners.
It is PHAC, the Public Health Agency of Canada, that provides guidance to the provinces, but the provinces are responsible for training.
We have learned a lot from SARS and H1N1, and in the event of an Ebola case in Canada, the Public Health Agency is ready to provide support with five rapid response teams, lab expertise to quickly confirm diagnosis, and emergency supplies of masks, gowns, and gloves.
