I also want to add that from our members' perspective, even when these clauses and provisions were included in the bills, there was very little information and detail as to what that entailed. Our members who are impacted by these changes were totally caught off guard, because they didn't really know the repercussions. The same thing just occurred with Bill C-69. There are some impacts there impacting natural health products, but when we actually reached out to Health Canada and asked them what this means for small businesses, we got nothing from them.
