Un dossier du Macleans

Extrait : “Health Canada’s oversight was put to the test in the fall of 2005, when a volunteer with tuberculosis infected 20 people during an Anapharm-sponsored study. As internal documents show, Health Canada officials didn’t seem to know of the outbreak until they were contacted three months after the fact by David Evans, a reporter for the Bloomberg news agency. Emails exchanged between Health Canada officials, obtained by Maclean’s, show how the agency scrambled to get information from Anapharm and from the reporter himself, who seemed to know more about the outbreak than it did.”
