What kinds of issues will the Committee provide advice to Health Canada on?
The Committee will be asked to provide expert advice on broad strategic issues relating to children’s and maternal health and safety issues related to health products and food throughout the health product life cycle. These could include: • how to strengthen and promote paediatric and maternal information related to health products, food and nutrition; • opportunities within Canada’s regulatory framework to encourage safe and ethical paediatric clinical trials; • partnerships and linkages within Canada and internationally in the field of paediatrics; and • strengthening post-market surveillance, including how to increase the reporting of adverse reactions.
