Abstract:
For more than 50 years, the importance of studying new medicines in childhood has been widely recognized. Nonetheless, Health Canada has eschewed policies requiring such evaluation, despite effective reforms elsewhere. In 2012, the Council of Canadian Academies convened an expert panel to assess Canada's research base for labelling of pediatric therapies. The September 2014 report has not yet resulted in action, but it deserves consideration by the new government with timely recognition of the high priority that evidence-based treatment of children deserves.
