I am familiar with the bill; I wrote the first draft for MP Blaine Calkins.
We've moved into a category where the penalties and powers are so strict that there's now no discretion and no ability for companies to stand up to Health Canada, even when following Health Canada advice will lead to death or harm.
As a lawyer who has practised for 30 years in that field, there have been times when companies have had to stand up to Health Canada to protect life, and we've lost that initiative. You're going to be destroyed.
Whenever you're in a situation where the bureaucracy has absolute power over you and you can't argue with them, the bureaucracy has all the discretion. If you look up the definition of tyranny, it just means absolute discretion. It's not meant to be a negative term. We just know bad things happen.
