CO-OPERATIVE Marvin iloWe. appeals to House for safety in drug legislation On Tuesday of last week Marvin •Howe, M, P. felt Wel- lington -Huron, spoke in the House of Commons to question the action.of the government bin its effort to amend the Pat- ent Act -Trade Marks Act. Mr. Howe expressed concern that the proposed amendments to'the Act would leave the con- sumer without certain of the safeguards which now prevail in the sale of drugs. Some of Mr., Iidwe's remarks follow: "Mr. Speaker, it has been interesting to liken to the ama- z;ag speech of the hon. mem- ber for, St. John's West (Mr, Cashin). He accused us -of using emotional arguments to call attention to some of the defi- ciencies in this bill. He seem- ed to think that the question of safety was not important enough to underline the fact that we feel some provisions have been left out of the legislation. It is said that this legislation will reduce the cost of drugs, Mr. Speaker. But how much more welcome' would be measures that would reduce the cost of living right across the board, or measures that would remove the cost of living right across i.ue Quaru, or measures Leat .would remove the..11 per cent sales tax on building materiajls. "Last year quite an issue was made of the fact that the sales tax on drugs Was removed. However. on•January.1 of this year a 5 per cent surcharge on income tax was imposed, And so on it goes, Mr. Speaker. • "The effect of this bill as I see it is to allow the .commis- sioner of patents to grant lic- ences permitting the . importa - tion of prescription drugs on a more flexible basis than applies at present. Where there is a delay in the granting by the commissioner of the required licence for a period beyond six months, provision is made for the granting of an interim licence under a patent relating to medicine. • " W e were pleased: to .note the aims. that the minister has in connection, with- this legislate tion, .They ey Were•,sta'ted inlhil speech yesterday and -were: lowerprices for drugs, safe drugs for the Canadian people and a viable Canadian drug in- dustry., From evidence taken before the committee we know that increased competition does not always have the effect. of reducingthe price of a particu- lar article that is being sold. Nevertheless, anything that can be done to bring about a reduc- tion in the price of prescription drugs will win the wholehearted approval of members of the house.and the public at large. "As a result of this legisla- tion we •are likely to witness • the importation into Canada, under interim licences in many instances, of a whole range of pharmaceutical products bear- ing brand names that are identi- cal or similar to those of Cana- dian products which have under- gone testing and inspection at the government level. This problem arises. What assurance will Canadians have 'that these products' bearing identification similar to that of Canadian .pro- ducts have passed the same. - tests as products made in this •country? This, bill, so far as I can see, provides only that the . food and drug directorate shall be notified of any application to bring into -Canada a pharma- ceutical product froth ;another country. Does the minister feel that mere notification from one department to another is sufficient?- Surely drugsim- ported from other countries and purporting to possess the sae, qualities as drugs manufactured in Canada should he subjected to exactly the same Watts conditions and requirements as drugs which are manufactured in Canada., `"'The question of safety In thy use of drugs is not merely academic. 'There have been numerous instances in the past few years which have indicated that, despite all possible pre- cautions, horrible consequences can arise unless drugs .meet the most rigorous conditionsas to manufacturing standards. The other day some children in Ot- tawa ate some candy which' it was thought was injurious. Af- ter careful study it was found that the candy was not the cause of the trouble. But how certain are -we that the sort of thing exemplified by this candy incident could not arise with regard to drugs? If we are now to open the door to an influx of drugs over whose manufacture,. Canadian authorities have no control, then surely we must take -steps at this end to. see to it that reasonable testing pro- cedures are followed.. No doubt the minister will tccau rite recomrnenuations or the House of Commons special committee on drug costs and prices in this regard. I pow wish to refer to two recommend- ations made by that committee which have not, 1 am sorry to say, been incorporated into the legislation. Recommendation No. 17 reads as follows: That subsection 3 of sectiA 41 of the Patent Act be amended to indicate clearly that the granting of a' licence by the commissioner of patents is sub- ject to a report by the food and drug directorate of the Depart- ment of National- Health and Welfare, to the effect that the applicant for the compulsory licence has satisfied the direct- orate that he has ;net the regu- lations under the Food and Drugs Act. "I maintain there is a need to incorporate into this legisla- tion pro -visions dealing specifi- cally with safety measures. Canadians are•entitled to pro- tection and surely the minimum protection to which they are entitled from this or any govern- ment is to know that when they buy drugs in Canada, some at- tempt has been made to ensure that in seeking a cure or remedy they will not be doing them- selves serious harm or injury, My own feeling ii that if a sys- tem tor testing and inspecting imported products cannot be worked out then they should not be allowed into Canada" Gorrie News Items Mr. and Mrs. Mac.

V. lights that made it look like a movie set. A few new faces appeared on the scene but the drill was the one we've come to know and love through the yearn; Nine new seats had tope added into the members' seating plan because of last year's re- distribution of electoral ddings. making a total of 11'7 members, ighlights from the Speech ° froin the Throne, read by Lieutenant -Governor Earl Rowe, were fewer than last. year but that is to be expected because it was an election year and tra- ditionally an election year Speech from the Throne offers .4 more "goodies" than is normally the case. For 1968, a provincial plan, for bulk buying of drugs could possibly reduce hospital costs arid perhaps even the price of drugs at the retail level. • The government will also introduce legislation to extend the Ont- ario Medical Services Insurance Plan to cover eye examinations by optometrists and will in- crease the allowances under The Workmen's Compensation Act. The SMeh,alto outlined plan for government action based on expropriation recom- mendations contained in a re- port of the Ontario Law Reform Commission. This would guar- antee expropriation victims compensation on a reasonable and equitable basis and would come much•closer to the mark- et value of the,property. Allow - ances would, be made to cover inconveniences, legal and mov- ing costs. • Other key items include: A bilingual Legislature and a commitment to "the spirit or linguistic equality" in Ontario; rebates of the tax on the first $2,000. of property assessment; onsolidation of the prov- S 1, 500 public school boards into 120; the establish- ment of bilingual high schools ley September; new laws to strengthen the position in the a market place' of beef producers.
