Highlights of a report made by the Canadian Medical Association appointed committee on Connaught Laboratories Ltd. include a historical perspective and a description of the institution's present corporate setting.A sample of criticisms of interest to practising physicians is presented. The committee concludes that it is essential for Canada to be self-sufficient in the manufacture of necessary biologicals and that Connaught Laboratories Ltd. could serve such a function provided there is, inter alia:* A clear commitment by the Canada Development Corporation and the federal government to provide necessary support;A new president quickly appointed, capable of understanding the nature of the industry;* Adequate support for research;* Recruitment of new staff;* Renewal and renovation of facilities where necessary; and* Improved internal organization and communication.
