Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I appreciate that all parents do worry, and that it is important that residents out there, especially with young children, get the information.

Mr. Speaker, I’d like to inform the Member that since this vaccine was manufactured, clinical studies were done on young children in a number of settings including international clinical trials, and the results have shown, and it has satisfied all of the experts in the Public Health Agency of Canada, that the results are safe.

The second thing is, prior to this vaccine being made, there were some who knew about impending or possible H1N1 breakout, and all of the testing that was done with respect to the production of it, the ingredients, the quality of the ingredients, the manufacturing process, those clinical trials were done on humans as well as animals.

I’m not a scientist. I’m not medically trained. I think it would be inappropriate for us to talk in medical language, but I think it’s very appropriate for us to have questions answered about what are the experts saying. Mr. Speaker, I can assure the Member and the residents out there that this has gone through and passed the rigorous Canadian vaccination testing process that is required.
