So I'm expecting as much time as it took you to ask me the question. Thank you.
I'll explain the situation.
The rule said that I couldn't meet with the minister. I was told that my position was equivalent to that of a deputy minister reporting to a minister and that I had to wait to be called by the minister to meet him. It wasn't necessarily linked to the consultation period. When I realized that there was a communications problem between Health Canada and the PMPRB, I wanted to get in touch with the minister to re-establish a dialogue. I asked to meet the minister, but was told that I was not following the proper reporting structure.
