Public Health Agency probes matter at National Microbiology Laboratory

The Canadian PressOTTAWA - The Public Health Agency of Canada said Monday it is taking steps to expeditiously address an “administrative matter” at the National Microbiology Laboratory after it advised the Mounties of possible policy breaches.

The agency said in a statement that it alerted the RCMP of the possible breach on May 24, adding that no employee of the lab is “under arrest or confined to their home.”A spokeswoman for the RCMP in Manitoba said Monday that the force can confirm it received a referral from the health agency, adding it will not speculate on the potential outcome of the investigation.

Courchaine also said the force would not comment further to “maintain the integrity of the investigative process.” China's foreign ministry spokesperson Geng Shuang was also asked about the matter during a press conference on Monday after CBC News published a story stating that a Chinese researcher was escorted from the lab amidst the RCMP investigation.
