We actually aren't opposed to improving the system. There has to be a new framework, but two major aspects need to be taken into consideration.
First, you need to review the decision to approve American products on a priority basis and the current recognition of approvals in other countries, including the United States.
Second, you need to consider the fact that Health Canada will be swimming in applications. The number of new applications for disinfectants and food-contact surface sanitizers has been estimated at more than 800. Consequently, Health Canada's system won't be able to meet the demand. As a result, approvals of Canadian products will be increasingly delayed because American products will be immediately recognized. It's as simple as that.
