Health committee  Two key investments in immunization were made. One was in Budget 2004, and that covered four vaccines. I'm pleased to say that all jurisdictions have implemented programs for all four programs, and we look forward to data coming as a result of the impact of those four programs. It's a critical initiative.

Health committee  Thank you very much, Mr. Tilson, for your question. I think there are two key areas where there has been significant progress made. One is in the area of preparedness for infectious disease emergencies, specifically a pandemic preparedness. There was a million dollars invested in 2006, and considerable progress has been made not only with the development of our Canadian pandemic plan, but also as components of that progress on a pandemic vaccine strategy, which will enable all Canadians to have access to a pandemic vaccine as quickly as possible in the event of a pandemic.
