Health committee  It's fairly similar, but BGTD would mainly take the lead. As the regulator, they have the mandate to do that, but we work with them when it comes to vaccines. An example of that is what happened in Alberta recently when there were six allergic reactions--anaphylactic-like reactions.

Health committee  It's interesting that historically both drugs and vaccines were with Health Canada when the agency was still with Health Canada as the Laboratory Centre for Disease Control. Then drugs were separated off and vaccines stayed where they were originally, with the Laboratory Centre for Disease Control.

Health committee  Certainly, yes.

Health committee  In some cases, yes; and in some cases, no. Regarding the clinical trials, I can't recall the specific examples right now, but we could certainly forward the results to you, if you would like. It was just that there was no difference between the people who had not received the vaccine and those who had.

Health committee  I'm with the Public Health Agency of Canada, and we actually do the post-marketing vigilance for vaccines that are used in humans to prevent disease. With respect to the deaths in question, I think EMEA put out a press release on January 24, 2008, regarding a couple of deaths.
