Yes, for sure. Advancing any new regulation doesn't happen overnight. I think what's important is that we start the policy analysis process.
We do international comparisons. Sometimes, and we've done this most recently on nutrition labelling, we undertake an online consultation with the public at large, a Canadian public consultation. We then do a cost-benefit analysis. We use a cost calculator provided by the Treasury Board Secretariat.
That becomes a part of our regulatory package that is advanced to the Canada Gazette for consultation. In that RIAS, the regulatory impact assessment statement, we outline the costs and the benefits of the particular regulation that is going forward. It is put in the Canada Gazette for 30 or 75 days for consultation. We collect the comments, bring them back, advance to Treasury Board again, and then we publish in the Canada Gazette , part II.
In the instance I just mentioned, about the pharmacy technicians, we also engaged the pharmacists' association to conduct a survey to determine the costs to the industry. We actually engaged the pharmacists in the determination of that cost calculation.
