Therefore, Her Excellency the Governor General in Council, on the recommendation of the Minister of Industry, pursuant to subsection 12(7) of the Telecommunications Act, varies Telecom Decision CRTC 2005-28, as amended by Telecom Decision CRTC 2005-28-1 and as confirmed in Telecom Decision CRTC 2006-53, so that, in relation to retail local access-independent VoIP services – being a particular class of services – provided by ILECs within their incumbent territories, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission refrai ...[+++]n from exercising its powers and performing its duties under section 25, subsections 27(1), (5) and (6) and sections 29 and 31 of that Act to the same extent that it does in relation to retail local telecommunications services provided to end users by CLECs in Telecom Decision CRTC 97-8, Local Competition, and subsequent determinations.

To that extent, DSHEA did the following: it created a definition of “dietary supplement” that includes vitamins, minerals, herbs, amino acids, and a wide range of other ingredients that can be consumed to improve or supplement the diet; it created a special and different safety standard for botanicals and other dietary supplements; it created a special class of information that can be made available to consumers to increase the flow of knowledge so that consumers can make better and wiser choices; it created our famous structure fu ...[+++]nction claims, which allow you to describe on the label of a product how a dietary supplement, herbal products, etc., can affect the structure or function of the body or how it affects mechanisms of action that affect structures and functions of the body; it created a new requirement for good manufacturing practices specific to dietary supplements but based on food, and it specifically intended that we not approach it through HACCP, which is a hazard analysis critical control point, a different approach to GMP; it created a presidential commission to further evaluate how to present information on the labels of dietary supplements—and that commission has recently issued its findings to Congress and the President; and finally, it created an Office of Dietary Supplements to become a house for information and collaboration with other government agencies, because it was felt that there was a great deal of disparate and uncoordinated information and resources that were being wasted.

That is the case where the decision rejecting the complaint contains a re-examination of the applicant’s situation in the light of new elements of law or of fact, or where it changes or adds to the original decision.

It should be noted that, in taking as a basis the evolving nature of the pre-litigation stage with a view to finding that it was appropriate to take account of the reasons appearing in the rejection of the complaint, the Civil Service Tribunal merely drew the consequences of settled case-law on determining whether the response to the complaint is amenable to review, from which it follows that the AECE may, in the decision rejecting the complaint, find it necessary to supplement or to modify its decision.

It is a very comprehensive piece of legislation and goes a long way toward keeping Canada at the level it has already achieved, not by Canada's standards but by international standards, which is the number one place to do business in the world.
