Abstract

Despite its stated interest in openness and transparency, Health Canada continues to deny the public access to information about clinical trials. It is also moving at a snail’s pace in developing a policy on clinical trials registration. Health Canada seems to be putting the drug industry’s needs ahead of the public good.
