While I can understand where you're coming from with respect to personal importation, one of the concerns we continue to have is with the ability to bring in drugs that have not been approved in Canada--or perhaps have not even been approved in the FDA--because maybe they are bringing them in from a country such as India or China or some place like that where we may have a little bit more concern because of the regulatory system that's in place. We haven't gone through that same confidence-building exercise there that we've gone through with the FDA or with others.
The concern would be under personal importation that any drug product, effectively, could be brought in under that particular guise. That means that a drug may not have been approved in the U.S. either. So from a Health Canada point of view, we would always have to have some concern around the loophole that would be there, because the consumer who goes to buy the meat from the Canadian producer or elsewhere doesn't have that choice, so we have to have some mechanism by which we can monitor it. While I can understand what you are saying, we do have to look for those areas where there hasn't been an approved drug product that could be of particular use. -
