Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all of our witnesses who have appeared today. Thanks also for your suggestions about amendments. I appreciate your coming here with those.
Mr. Thuna, we had an appearance last week by the Minister of Health—a very animated appearance—and he made some fairly outrageous claims, one of which certainly does not reflect what I've been hearing. I would like your comments on it as someone who's very vested in this industry. He said that the new regulations on natural health products would only negatively impact “people who are negligent and wildly out of compliance.”
In your opinion, is this a true statement, or does the minister not accurately reflect the state of the natural health product industry in Canada?
