Thank you for the explanation.
When you're making regulations under this kind of section, because it is up under the criminal head.... Usually the recipe you have to use is that you make a prohibition—make something criminal—and then sort of allow it. Around things like best practices for risk communication, certainly we would encourage that, but touching that area with a criminal pen is a serious movement.
To be honest, we're trying our best to understand how this would work. We understand some of the principles, and we would certainly agree that talking to physicians and our colleagues in the provinces about best practices is something that Health Canada would want to do, but in a regulation it's not something that we would normally envisage doing.
