Those strike me as reasonable. Also, I would not forget the provinces and physicians as important targets of post-marketing surveillance. In other words, Health Canada has a very blunt instrument, which is taking the drug off the market or not. As a physician, I would benefit a great deal from this kind of post-marketing surveillance because it would help me decide which kinds of patients...and it'll help me to better understand the risks and benefits in the real world.
