Yes, I'll take a shot at this. As clarification, I'm with Health Canada, not with Justice.
The concern I have with the amendment is that it offers a bit of a problem with interpretation. The original Bill S-201, from our understanding, has quite general provisions for physicians, pharmacists, and researchers, so we didn't have any issues with it. We thought that our practices were exempt.
I think the amendment introduces some issues with interpretation so we do.... As has already been mentioned here, several interpretations have to be done both for the practice of medicine and also for research. We would have to go back to try to find out what all those implications would be, and we haven't had the time to do that.
