Actually, I'll take it up a level beyond regulations: what about legislation? The point we discussed earlier about the conundrum within Health Canada to try to deal with a regulator who's looking at it from the perspective of drug safety and protecting Canadians in that context, to me this all starts from the fact that we're trying to regulate the food industry, fundamentally, on the basis of the Food and Drugs Act. It's literally a hundred-year-old piece of legislation at its core. It was created in an era when the biggest issue of concern in food was adulteration. It was built in an era when with the technology and the risk factors at the time it was perhaps appropriate to combine food and drugs and medical devices in one statute.... Bear in mind that it's criminal law as well.
