"Prime Minister Stephen Harper visited Canada's National Microbiology Laboratory last year. Health Canada documents obtained through an access-to-information request reveal close to 250 internal incidents — ranging from equipment failures to potential chemical exposures — were reported in the lab between 2005 and 2009. Also pictured are (right) Dr. Frank Plummer, Scientific Director General and Dr. Yan Li (left), Chief of the Influenza and Respiratory Viruses Section which was doing research on the H1N1 flu virus at the time."
