Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all the witnesses for their informative testimony.
We move forward as we work in committee and study a bill. What I heard from all the witnesses, except perhaps Ms. Hepburn, is that, in its current state, the bill is unacceptable from the standpoint of health, specifically children's health, because of nicotine products. I've already announced that we will be moving an amendment to exclude nicotine products from Bill C‑368.
However, I heard an additional concern from Ms. Hepburn. I heard that you've been using natural health products and recommending them since long before Vanessa's Law was implemented, which was not that long ago.
Now, all of a sudden, you would have a problem recommending natural products. Why is that, knowing that the current regulations could wipe out several companies and have the unintended consequence of allowing foreign products entering the country to bypass regulations and inspections altogether?
