Just to quickly update you on Vanessa's Law, it's fantastic on paper, but implementation has been incredibly slow thus far.
The power to compel drug companies to keep studying post market is in force now, and hopefully it is being used. The power to make information more transparent is there. Some of them are in force now; others require regulations. A law was passed in November 2014, but there are still no regulations from Health Canada.
A key part of evidence-based decision-making for our clinicians in practice and for the national formulary, if we ever get one, is more access to the information behind drugs. Vanessa's Law is being implemented too slowly in that regard.
