Thank you very much, Chair.
I'm just looking at the report. I just want to get clarification where it says—and I'm quoting now—“Health Canada does not have the authority to order a change to a label or force a mandatory recall of a natural health product for any reason, including when a product presents a serious or imminent risk of injury to health.” Why is that?
If you go into the substance of the report, it does say that, “Health Canada can enforce product and site-licence conditions for natural health products”, and it gives examples, “suspending or cancelling licences; directing a stop sale of products; seizing products; requesting voluntary product recalls; [and] issuing public alerts and advisories on the Health Canada website.” Those are substantive, but why is there no authority to change a label, or force, say, a mandatory recall? Is that a legislative gap? What does that relate to?
