Health committee  Certainly by the end of the month.

Health committee  Thank you very much. In doing the consultation on the revisions of the FIORP, it was very clear that, as was mentioned, every province deals with food-borne outbreaks in various ways. In some cases, it's the chief medical officer of health who actually manages everything; and in other places, it's managed very much on the agriculture side and on the health side in separate ways.

Health committee  Yes, we will.

Agriculture committee  That is an academic question. Once there has been an outbreak, the important thing is to focus on containing its impact and determining exactly what occurred. We are talking about a vulnerable population that had been exposed to the products we examined when the listeriosis crisis arose.

Agriculture committee  We intend to work even harder in this area. All the information that we have collected, as well as material published by Health Canada, now appear on our websites, where people can access it. As Ms. Weatherill pointed out, particular attention must be paid to communication with a view to prevention.

Agriculture committee  That is, of course, something that we identified. We looked at the lessons learned from the outbreak through the different agencies. We then set about developing a risk communication plan and identified very specific communication products aimed at the most vulnerable populations.

Agriculture committee  Thank you very much for your question. The Agency's focus is prevention and it tries to respond. By the time an illness has been detected or recognized, the contamination is already present. In terms of prevention, information has to be prepared in cooperation with CFIA staff and our public health colleagues, that information being aimed in particular at the most vulnerable populations and individuals at high risk of food contamination.
