Thank you, Madam Chair.
I just would like to go back to the natural product licensing. What will it take, given that this hasn't been working? I see some funding in here, but according to the numbers I'm distilling out of the order paper questions from the ministry, it's more or less $400 per item that still needs to be dealt with. That seems low from my understanding of how these things are tied up, some of them for five years in the backlog.
What level of funding would it take to actually meet Health Canada's goal of addressing this incredible backlog by March 31, 2010, which is the stated goal? That's essentially four months from now.
