Let me stop you there, because in fact I'm not asking about standards. That's part of the problem, as I see it. We've moved to a paper process in which industry regulates itself based on a set of standards.
I'm talking about active oversight pre and post drugs entering the market. I'm talking about preventing things like Vioxx, which clearly was a problem of improper oversight by an independent body, because the drug company didn't do it. I'm talking about things like Evra, the birth control patch that is now on the market, for which the drug company refuses to put out warnings about the risk of blood clots and heart attacks. I'm talking about the fact that we need something to put a check on you. There's nothing wrong with that. Your job is to market and make profits. The job of government is to protect Canadians.
I want to hear from the generic organization on this front.
