I've remained mostly silent on the amendments, but on this one there is a precedent that this committee set about two years ago with the PMRA. It took the action to call before that committee, every six months, a review of progress being made by the PMRA. For eight or nine years there was no progress. Only in the last two years have we seen the PMRA actually stepping to the plate and some real progress moving forward.
Alex is suggesting it be within the first six months, but thereafter every two years. I see nothing unreasonable about it. There are many issues that will come before the committee, and I don't think we need to create work, but in fairness this is something I can live with. It may be in the best interest of a lot of people concerned down the road.
