Thank you, Mr. Malo.
Yes, of course, we are fully aware of the NAPRA decision, which is fairly recent. For products that formerly had a DIN and now have an NPN, so are now natural health products, they were dealt with very efficiently by us. First, under the regulations, we gave them six years, which is a fairly long time. Then, the applications that had to be sent to us to transfer these products were quite simple. They were processed within 15 to 20 days. There were never backlogs in that category of applications. We completed all the applications we received within the time allowed in the regulations, that is, by the end of December 2009.
Regarding the NAPRA decision, it is clear to us that the NAPRA and Health Canada have the same objective. As you mentioned, we have to make sure that products are accessible, but also safe and effective. So we continue to work with the people at NAPRA. They are members of our external committee, which I referred to a few minutes ago. We continue to work with them to find potential solutions and internal administrative solutions. People have to be able to prioritize their applications and we have to be able to process the applications more efficiently. The improvements we have made in the last 12 to 18 months have helped a lot. If you look at our figures, you will see that most applications have been processed and finalized within that period, covering about the last two years. That is the kind of work we are continuing to do. As well, we work quite closely with consumers, who are also members of our external committee.
