The answer is no. I don't know where that money is being spent.
What we have found increasingly with governments in general is a lack of consultation on just about everything, this included.
I think that, as we go forward, it's not about where we're going but about how we get there and how we get there together. Certainly, if the PMRA could be a little more transparent on all this coming about, I'm sure we could find a pathway that would be effective for all parties involved. However, this kind of increase in fees is only going to come back to the producers I represent. At the end of the day, they're going to have to pay this because these costs are not going to be borne by the companies that are applying for these new products that are coming on board.
I don't understand where the fees are coming from, and I don't understand where the money is being spent.
