How will the Committees advice be used by Health Canada?
The Paediatric Expert Advisory Committee will function as an advisory body on broad strategic issues, not a decision-making body. Health Canada will take the Committee’s advice into consideration as the Department seeks to advance work on paediatric and maternal issues related to health products and food. The Committee will report to the Assistant Deputy Minister of the Health Products and Food Branch, which is responsible for the regulation of health products such as pharmaceuticals, medical devices, biologics and natural health products.
