On the recordJuly 17, 2002
Current law requires FDA, for their certification--for FDA to give their certification, you have a pedigree requirement. The pedigree requirement means we have FDA inspectors go visit the plants in Canada to certify that yes, these are FDA-approved drugs. They do the sampling. They make sure the packages are safe. Inspections are done at great expense. That is already done for FDA, for drugs that are manufactured in the United States or reimported into the United States. It would not be done under any drug in Canada or under the Canadian law, which basically says if these drugs are purchased strictly for export purposes, they do not fall under Canadian regulation.
