Health committee  We have to be a little bit careful here, because we're using stem cells in a very wide application. When we're talking about a Canadian public cord blood bank, at this point the application is specifically for what we used to call bone marrow transplantation, or blood and marrow transplantation.

Health committee  Sure. I've had the pleasure of working with Canadian Blood Services on this project, and have been involved with several cord blood banks in the U.S. over the last several years. The proposal has been approved across the provinces and territories, but there was no funding in the past year allocated to it.
