This week the plight of scientists who have been prevented by the current government from speaking freely about their research results has made headlines across the country (http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scotia/steve-campana-canadian-biologist-disgusted-with-government-muzzling-1.3078587). The problems are similar to those that have been encountered by Patricia Sutherland. She STILL does not have access to her research materials in order to continue her work and make her results publicly known. This amounts to "muzzling".
