Chairman, Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission

Konrad W. von Finckenstein

I stand on record as saying, like you, that I don't understand why we don't. It's not my regulation. It has nothing to do with us. I don't understand why Canadians are exposed to pharmaceutical advertisements from the States but they can't be exposed to pharmaceutical advertisements.... It is not pursuant to any CRTC regulation or anything. It's strictly under the Food and Drugs Act.
