We definitely have concerns about the accuracy of the label and whether the contents of the package match what's been licensed. It's all the more challenging with consumer choice now being carried out in the Internet marketplace, as well as on store shelves. There are some challenges.
It's impossible, with 91,000 product licences out there, and who knows how many of those are actually marketed.... There's no comprehensive list of how many of those licences have come to market. With that amount of products, Canadians can't rely on the caveat emptor approach to this. We need Health Canada to guarantee the safety of these products. That is its mandate with respect to natural health products.
The report revealed our concerns with regard to that. The response, as well as the work plan of Health Canada, I think will go at least partway to addressing some of those concerns. They're not wholly within its control, though, because some of the responses signal the need for a legislative change.
