Thank you very much.
Thank you for coming today.
In her November 2006 report, the Auditor General concluded that: "Health Canada does not know whether regulatory responsibilities are fully met", with respect to the product safety, drug products and medical devices programs.
According to the report, failure to carry out these responsibilities could have consequences for the health and safety of Canadians, such as exposure to hazardous non-conforming products and to ineffective and dangerous therapeutic products.
Health Canada should undertake a review and establish program baselines in order to meet their regulatory responsibilities. What is the status of that review?
