Where do we go from here and what does the government do moving forward?

Charles Hoffe · 8:25:55

It's a really good question. I think the most positive thing that could come from this is that Health Canada should not get any funding from the pharmaceutical industry. Part of the problem is that Health Canada gets approximately 90% of its funding from the pharmaceutical industry, which means that's who it works for. It doesn't work for the people of Canada. That's whose interests they are supporting. That is a huge conflict of interest. So really, I think those conflicts of interest need to be removed. And, and those— and then I think there should be legislation in place to ensure freedom of speech, because this thing about misinformation is all about shutting down freedom of speech. Because what's misinformation?

Charles Hoffe · 8:26:55

It's literally whatever they decide it is. It's completely arbitrary and it can change you know, with the wind.

Yeah, thank, thank you, Dr. Hoff, for speaking. And, uh, I'm a Member of Parliament from British Columbia and certainly was aware of you speaking up, uh, during that time. And if there was— no, question before I— quick question here before I ask, uh, a couple more comments.
