Use trusted proof. Keep children safe.

Ask Health Canada to make its proposed faster review clear, fair and safe.

Updated:

The proposal covers certain drug files. It is not blanket approval of foreign drugs or advice on which medicine to use.

The opening

Health Canada seeks comments until October 23, 2026. It proposes a 180-day review for some children’s drug files. The notice links this to rules that let it rely on some foreign reviews. Other filing and safety rules still apply.

Our draft ask

Please use sound foreign evidence where it answers the same safety questions. Publish which drugs and reviews qualify, when the clock starts and why it stops. Keep checks for gaps in the evidence and track harm after approval. Show how often the service target is met. A missed target should bring an answer, not automatic approval.
