This is concerning medical devices. One of the things that were brought up was a concern around certain medical devices not being available. This allows a three-year window and then a three-year extension, if allowed. This is in some contention directly to some of the issues brought up, but we thought this amendment allowed the switch to become possible, and if it wasn't possible, the Governor in Council could allow a three-year window extension so that there would be no interruption in services or products.
