On November 6, 2014, Bill C- 17, An Act to Amend the Food and Drugs Act (known as the Protecting Canadians from Unsafe Drugs Act (Vanessa’s Law)) received Royal Assent and will come into force on a date to be fixed by Order-in-Council. As previously reported in E-TIPS®, the amendments will strengthen Health Canada’s post-approval oversight of drugs, devices and drug-device combinations and permit Health Canada to disclose confidential business information in specified circumstances without notifying or obtaining consent from the person to whose business or affairs the information relates.
