Thank you for your question.
With regard to a pan-Canadian monitoring system, I may answer that twofold. First, in most of the United States they already have a prescription drug monitoring program, and somehow they've realized, maybe a little bit too late, that they needed to have a mechanism to be able to connect those state prescription monitoring programs together in order to have a better picture for the country. Again, I don't think their system is a good proactive approach. I don't think it gives them everything they would have wished to have because of the differences between each of the states.
For Canada, though, if I look at the second part of the answer to your question, I think we need to have a pan-Canadian monitoring system where we have to really take advantage of what is being implemented in each of the provinces and territories in order to build a national program.
There used to be a time in Canada when a national system existed, but it was much more manual. It was really in the 1980s and 1990s, but with the years that has disappeared. Now electronic technologies are there so it certainly could work, and it would be an advantage because there is a really substantial category of drugs that could fall under that mechanism, but we need to be proactive.
