Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'll be brief.
The only natural health products that will be included in the definition of therapeutic products will be those that contain nicotine and are used for nicotine replacement therapy. This is similar to what we had proposed, but this amendment makes Parliament's intention very clear.
People were worried that it would also affect chamomile, since it's said to contain nicotine. However, as far as we know, Health Canada never intended to issue warnings about fruits and vegetables. We proposed this amendment so that everyone could support the bill.
It's very clear that therapeutic health products are drugs or devices, or any combination of them, as well as natural health products that contain nicotine and are used for nicotine replacement therapy.
