The provincial associations and L Ordre are all members of the Canadian Council of Professional Engineers. This was formed to provide a mechanism for consultation between the provincial organizations, and to enable joint action when necessary. One such important joint action was the formation of the Canadian Accreditation Board. This board establishes and maintains the academic levels required for membership in the provincial bodies. It has been able to maintain uniform standards across Canada and thus has ensured that acceptable graduates from any Canadian university engineering fiiculty may to able to join any provincial governing body. 

We would like to thank the Canadian Water Network (CWN), the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) of Canada, Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food (OMAF), and Ontario Ministry of Environment for their support of our research on recombinant antibodies and Cryptosporidium parvum. We would also like to acknowledge GAP EnviroMicrobial Services and the NIFI AIDS Research Reference Reagent Program for their cooperation in our studies. 

The author would like to thank Drs. Mingsheng Ma, Zhilong Gong, Serife Yalcin, and Ms. Xiufen Lu (University of Alberta), Dr. William R. Cullen and Ms. Vivian Lai (University of British Columbia), Dr. H. Vasken Aposhian (University of Arizona), Dr. Kenneth J. Reimer (Canadian Royal Military College), and Dr. Baoshan Zheng (Chinese Academy of Sciences) for their contributions.
