Health committee  We used to do a better job of it. I have taught a little bit of epidemiology, and one of my favourite things to do at one point was to tell people to go to NRCan's atlas, the Public Health Agency of Canada's website, and there are a few other sites. They used to have a really good website for toxic sites in Canada, through the Government of Canada.

Health committee  Good plan.

Health committee  Yes.

Health committee  Yes.

Health committee  I believe it's actually on the university website as well.

Health committee  It's—

Health committee  I don't know why they are not collecting that data.

Health committee  It's something which should be captured from public health records. And—

Health committee  There are two issues here. One issue is that a lot of data that should have been collected is simply not being collected. An independent brain tumour group is starting up a database, but it's not in place yet. In order to detect the oncoming tsunami of brain tumours, should that happen—and it looks as if we may see an increase in brain tumours—we would have to have detailed information about where exactly these tumours are located.

Health committee  Okay. There is rapidly escalating exposure. I don't think we can really wait any longer to take good action because the status quo is too much. We should move to minimize exposure while we carry out more research. Thank you very much.

Health committee  Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman and members of the panel. I'm very grateful for this opportunity today. I apologize for not providing bilingual materials, but I received my invitation just a week ago, so the timing didn't work out to take advantage of your translation services.
