Mr. Speaker, I enjoyed listening to the remarks of the member. We are debating establishing the mandate for the Public Health Agency and the Chief Public Health Officer of Canada, but there are concerns about whether there are enough financial and human resources to fulfill that mandate as set out in the bill. The Canadian Medical Association and other key stakeholders have raised concerns about the resources that are available to do this important work. Could the member comment on that?
