Bill C-393 appears to be including a definition for the term “pharmaceutical product”. It states that it is the same definition as “section 2 of the Food and Drugs Act. If we go to section 2 of the Food and Drugs Act, we have “drug”, which is what this would be referring to, and there is a complete definition there of what a “drug” is. Mr. Garneau's amendment would replace that with a straight reference to section 1 of the Patent Act, which would now be the first section of Bill C-393.
