730 - Hi Patrick, I have a question related to providing PAAB training. I remember few years ago you came to our company and you provided training. There have been many changes since then and I was wondering if you are still providing similar training. What is the cost associated with this type of activity?

710 - For Help-Seeking Announcements, the Distinction Between Advertising and Other Activities states "there is no implication that a drug is the sole treatment available". Does this mean no implication for a single brand within the context of available drug treatments, or no implication for drug treatment over non-drug treatment?

692 - In DTC would non-medical devices (i.e. Breezhaler/Respimat/Ellipta) be associated with their drugs immediately? As such be limited to the name, price and quantity in terms of messaging or would there be leeway to talk about device features in a comparative standpoint or would that be against the code?

659 - As per the PAAB Code section 1.8 Definitions, the New Healthcare Product is defined as follow: "Any prescription or non-prescription product manufactured and/or marketed in Canada by a particular company for a period of less than 2 years". It is our understanding that for any APS we are limited to one year of usage of the word "New" from initial marketing. However, please clarify, what is the less than two years period in the above statement for the “New Healthcare Product" is referring to?

606 - Hi! We would like to know what the role of PAAB is? Do you support innovation or the pharmaceuticals? This is not meant to be prejudiced in anyway. We've tried to work with pharmaceuticals to put a product that could eventually replace vaccines, replace the current international immunization plans, prevent outbreaks and epidemics.These are just starters. We've conducted full scale animal trials and safety trials and will soon be ready for Phase 1 trials for Universal Flu, HIV/AIDS, Cancer for leukemia and Hodgkin's, all enteric diseases and one to replace the immunization program. I see from PAAB's membership there are a lot of pharmaceutical and vaccine companies represented. We've approached several foundations, vaccine companies and pharmas and got similar "not interested" responses.

573 - Hi, Is it allowed to develop a tool for physicians that will be used with a patient to help the patient make the decision to use a specific therapy? if yes, should the information in this tool restricted to Part III of the PM only or other sources are also allowed? Thank you!

518 - Commercial employee asked a presenter AFTER presentation at a scientific conference why DRUG X has not been included in his presentation. DRUG X has not yet been approved by Health Canada but belongs to the employee's company pipeline. DRUG X efficacy/safety properties have not been discussed. Does this interaction constitutes off label promotion?
