That's a great question.
You've already heard me talking about recalls. There's a piece of draft legislation called “The Charter of Health Freedom”. You can go to charterofhealthfreedom.org. There's a recall provision in there that would allow a court to manage, because we all agree.... Ironically, for the most dangerous chemical drugs, again, it's interfering with the doctor-patient relationship, and the regulatory body cannot know which patients depend on a product and the like. Even if there's spiking or adulteration or something in a specific lot, we still need to have the court supervise.
Now, for the court, you don't even need to have a new law. We have it in the Food and Drugs Act that the court can supervise. Before the Food and Drugs Act put that in, courts would order recalls and supervise. It's not something that we even need in the act, but if we do that, we should recognize that a recall interferes with patient-client relationships. The goal is the best health outcomes, but as it is, Health Canada can order a recall without any consideration of that.
I think that for the best outcomes I would encourage this committee to look at a recall provision that would also take into account that you're interfering with doctor-patient relationships. The last time I checked, the medical doctors out there were trying to manage their patients as effectively as possible, and they should have some say if that's being interfered with.
