When you look at section 56 and the requirement to have an exemption to prescribe methadone—that has to come through Health Canada, but the colleges handle it—this is something where I think the federal government could look at it and say, “What's going on with the addiction treatment side? Do we need to add some sort of wording, some sort of amendment, that would require some form of an exemption for anybody wanting to go over and above that?”
I can tell you that on our committee, that's been a debate in terms of how that looks. We're not 100% sure what that should look like. I would say that because of section 56 and the language in there, I would think the discussion could start at the federal level, and see if there is a way to kind of work language in that would allow for some form of qualification over and above what they already have.
