Le comité était au courant de l'existence des centres d'excellence provinciaux dans ce domaine, notamment le British Columbia's Centre for Disease Control, qui se concentre fortement sur les maladies infectieuses et qui est en train d'élargir son mandat; et l'Institut national de santé publique du Québec, un organisme de santé complet.
The committee was aware of provincial centres of excellence in this field, which I will highlight: British Columbia's Centre for Disease Control, which has a strong infectious disease focus and is now broadening its mandate; and Quebec's National Institute of Public Health, which is a full-spectrum public health agency.
