When you look at a drug submission evaluation, that is the sole responsibility of Health Canada. Our interactions with Agriculture Canada and CFIA are really based on some of the policy initiatives as we move forward. So when we talk about personal use importation and the fact that farmers are able to bring drugs across the border for personal use, that's a bigger policy issue; it has implications for the agricultural industry. So our interactions with Agriculture Canada are based on policy initiatives.
CFIA does a lot of our enforcement actions. For example, when we had the issue of carbadox in pigs, the CFIA was responsible for the enforcement of some of the MRLs that we talk about.
So our interactions with CFIA and Agriculture Canada are really on strategic or policy issues, on how we move forward. Health Canada cannot look solely at what they do in terms of their own responsibility; we have to make sure we understand other people's issues, other organizational issues, as well.
The backlog is going to be reduced. As we said, there will be an elimination of the backlog by 2009. That's clearly the responsibility of Health Canada; it's within Health Canada's control. And these submissions are not farmed out to Agriculture Canada or CFIA. But there's certainly interaction in terms of how the products would be used, what kinds of enforcement or risk management strategies we may want to have as we move forward, especially if it's a drug that might have specific safety issues in animals, or where MRLs may be difficult to establish, etc. So those are the interactions that occur with the other departments.
