Ms. Hyland, you seem to be implying that Vanessa's Law is the be-all and end-all. However, section 16 of the natural health products regulations allows Health Canada to ask a company to change its labelling, including adding warnings, if the minister has reasonable grounds to believe that a natural health product is no longer safe even under the recommended conditions of use.
There are two possible scenarios. On the one hand, if the label is not compliant, Health Canada can use enforcement measures and powers such as seizure and detention of the product. It can also stop the sale of the product or suspend its licence. On the other hand, if the label is compliant but Health Canada wants the company to modify it for safety reasons, Health Canada can require the company to make the change or discontinue the product. If the company does not comply with these requirements, Health Canada has the authority to issue a notice to stop the sale of the product or suspend its licence.
The industry is already regulated. However, you talk as if there were no oversight. I think we have to be rigorous. I imagine you're familiar with Vanessa's Law in terms of pharmaceuticals, but I get the feeling you have a poor understanding of the natural health products regulations and their application.
