The Regulation of Drugs in Canada: The?Food and Drugs Act?and Related Intellectual Property Regimes provides an overview of the laws in Canada that govern the manufacture and sale of drugs that are subject to the?Food and Drugs Act, including?pharmaceuticals, vaccines, and natural health products.?Among the laws that are discussed are the new regulatory pathways that were made in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. 

This book also describes the intellectual property framework that applies to drugs and explains the impact this framework has on the drug approval process, as well as its unique objective:?to encourage innovation and incentivize bringing new therapeutic options to market. Authors Simon Carvalho, T. Nessim Abu-Zahra, and David Edwards explain how this framework regulates the competition between “brand-name manufacturers” who are the first to bring a drug to market and obtain patents and other intellectual property, and “generic” or “biosimilar” manufacturers, who manufacture and sell copies of brand-name products.

[This] book focuses on “street-level” encounters: detentions and arrests that occur in the course of investigating crime and laying charges. The authors explore the initial interaction between agents of the state or others authorized to detain and arrest, and the private citizens whose liberty is interfered with. It is at that point that the balance between societal safety and individual liberty is most keenly in play.

This third edition has been updated to incorporate significant statutory changes to Part XVI of the Criminal Code (Compelling Appearance of Accused Before a Justice and Interim Release), to common law powers (powers of detention, safety searches, search incident to arrest, etc.), to developments in the law in dealing with racial profiling, and to Charter rights (freedom from arbitrary detention, right to counsel, and so on).
