This article discusses a government introducing a limit access law (fines and jail terms will apply if not followed) of handling pathogens and toxins. That will help with terrorism intentionally releasing bio-hazards and will protect Canadians from lab workers from making mistakes. These regulaions will apply to 3500 facilities. There was new regulations to protect set in place but died because of "new elections". The problem is about scientist fostering a bio-security method just as much as itis about renewing regulations for bio-stuff.
Stakeholders - Public Health Agency of Canada, the 3500 canadian labs, the government sector that answers to bio-stuff, new elections.
The PUBLIC RELATIONS issue is about the Stakeolders making statements that clearly tell the world that they are responsible for biohazzards and it's control throughout Canada. If a tragedy or mitake occurs they will have to have a plan ready to satisfy the public, and by the sounds of this article they are not prepared and we see an example here of how "elections changes policy".
The audience is to scientist, and to the public.
The message is that bio-stuff is real, is gettn shipped all the time, and that regulations and laws are still on the table as such chemicals are being handled without being monitored.
