I would say that the way Health Canada has chosen to treat our industry is an ongoing problem. In my time, Health Canada has.... In the beginning, it didn't understand us. I would say it still doesn't, but in the beginning, it didn't understand us, so we were drugs. That's the box we fit in that was easiest for them.
However, with the consultation and the creation of the NHPD, that was supposed to change. It was supposed to be that we were treated...and regulations were created that were right for us. Health Canada was supposed to educate consumers, doctors and other medical staff so they could better understand the regulations, the products, how they're manufactured and how they were going to be kept safe.
Health Canada fell on its butt with that one.
