Yes, I am aware of multiple suits, either completed or pending. I've been involved as a consultant or expert in a number of successful cases in the United States. I've been involved in the same capacity in a number of cases overseas, and I do expect in the coming years that the number of claims against prescribers, against the governments that oversaw the prescribing of this drug, are going to face significant financial consequence.
In the United States, our military is protected from claims of liability due to something called the Feres Doctrine. Before the meeting, I was discussing this issue with my colleagues. My understanding is that Canada has no such immunity from torts, so I do think it's important for governments to examine their exposure on this issue.
