Dr. Elinor Wilson

Thank you very much for the question.

As was mentioned earlier, we do not develop the policy or the regulations. However, our staff works very closely with the staff at Health Canada who are developing the regulations to ensure that any considerations around implementation are taken into account as those regulations are developed.

In terms of what is currently on their plate and what they're doing, with respect, I would ask that you might refer that question to the departmental officials when they appear, because it's not our piece to speak about.
