Thank you for that question.
Our government is committed to protecting the health and safety of Canadians, and I have instructed Health Canada's officials to look into the issue and to assess whether the processes were followed and were sufficient within the rules that we do have in place.
In this case, Apotex indicated the recall of one lot, prior to advising Health Canada, based on their own assessment of the health risks. We encourage this with industry, based on their assessments, to do recalls as well. Once Health Canada's risk assessment was conducted, Health Canada immediately posted this information to the Healthy Canadians website.
Thank you, Madam Chair.
