In support of this legislation, we have made an investment of approximately $70 million, over the next five years, to put the processes in place. The action plan that we established to start rolling this legislation out through Health Canada focuses on areas of prevention, which also includes the promotion of industry compliance. It also provides consumers with better information. There's a targeted oversight plan in place, monitoring in place, surveillance, but it would also give us the systems to rapidly respond. So if an industry were to provide an incident to us, we would be able to work with the industry to investigate that, or the consumer.
In my view, it's in the interest of the industry to ensure their product is safe, so it's very much a cooperative type arrangement. As well, to be able to get the information from the consumers is very important, so that once we do get the information we'll be able to go back to the industry and say we've received a complaint on this product--can we address that? There are mechanisms in place with this legislation to do this. We've also invested the resources of $70 million to ensure that we put the machinery in place to be able to develop the necessary network.
Thank you.
