Veterans Affairs committee  To extend further my line of questioning, I'm just wondering about the other types of anti-malarial drugs that had been prescribed in previous conflicts and if there were comparable outcomes or questions regarding the prescriptions and the after-effects.

Veterans Affairs committee  Thank you. Although there do not appear to be active studies taking place in Canada, are Canadian officials working closely with our allies in Australia, the United States and even Germany where they have banned it?

Veterans Affairs committee  Dr. Jetly, how is that research being funded? In the case of the Australians, is it the Australian government?

Veterans Affairs committee  Okay. Thank you.

Veterans Affairs committee  Thank you. Thank you both for your testimonies today. Dr. Libman, are you familiar with research conducted on soldiers from countries other than Canada who were prescribed mefloquine and participated in the conflict in Somalia?

Veterans Affairs committee  Have you seen any research from other countries whose soldiers participated in the conflict in Somalia in 1992 and 1993 and were prescribed mefloquine?

Veterans Affairs committee  Right. I'll be very open. Here's one point I want to get some collaboration or elaboration on.
