    A Prescription in the Public Interest? Bill 207, The Medical Amendment Act THERESA VANDEAN DANYLUK I.1N1RODUCTION ''when there are [private members'] proposals that the government finds in the public interest, I think there is a more recent developing interest to work together and get these proposals 1 moving." Generally, the passage of Private Members' Bills ("PMB") 1 into law is a rare feat for opposition members and government backbenchers ("private members"). In the Manitoba Legislature, this statement is particularly true-since 1992, while 141 PMBs were formulated, 88 of which were printed and introduced in the House, only four subsequently became law.3 It should, however, be noted that these figures do not account for PMBs which, after being introduced by private members but not passed, are introduced and subsequently passed in whole or in part through government legislation. Interview of Hon. Gord Mackintosh, Attorney General and Government House Leader, by Theresa Danyluk (6 October 2005) in Winnipeg, Manitoba. A private members' bill is a bill presented to the House by either a government backbencher or an opposition member. There are private members' public bills; dealing with general legislation, and private members' private bills; used most commonly for the incorporation of an organization seeking powers, which cannot be granted mder The Cmporations Act, or for amendments to existing Private Acts of Incorporation.

    FOREWORD The Friends of Canadian Institutes of Health Research (FCIHR) is a national organization composed of individuals and corporate members, dedicated to supporting the goals and ideals of the Canadian Institutes of Health research (CIHR). One of the principle activities of the FCIHR is to promote the under- standing of science in the community through annual symposia and educational forums. It is important to facilitate the transfer of new knowledge that is rooted in high quality, evidenced-based research. The ultimate expectation is that this will help to improve the health of Canadians by strengthening the Canadian health care system. This year we highlight the importance of communicating new knowledge to the public and the responsibilities we have as scientists to provide solid information in a timely and understandable way. Conflicts arise when individuals promote their work or themselves inappropriately or for personal gain. Furthermore, the research community cannot effectively communicate to the public directly and depends on health reporters and journalists schooled in biology and the human condition. Journalists for their part must be skeptical and probing in order to discern the “wheat from the chaff”. Human-interest stories sell papers but if the premise is based on junk science, everyone suffers. The theme of this year’s symposium “The Scientist and the Media” looks at the challenges and opportunities that guide the interdependencies of both professions as they work to transfer new knowledge from the laboratory to the community that funds our research. FCIHR would like to thank our principal sponsors particularly the Canadian Institutes of Health Research and the University of Manitoba, Department of Internal Medicine for their support of Symposium 2005.
