MedWatch - The FDA Safety Information and Adverse Event Reporting Program An update to a previous MedWatch Safety Alert: Infants’ Ibuprofen Concentrated Oral Suspension by Tris Pharma: Recall - Due to Potential Higher Concentrations of Ibuprofen wasjust updated on the FDA Recalls webpage. Three additional lots of Ibuprofen Oral Suspension Drops, USP, 50 mg per 1.25 mL, have been added.   You can read the complete recall alert at: https://www.fda.gov/Safety/Recalls/ucm627780.htm Nature’s Rx Issues Voluntary Nationwide Recall of Silver Bullet 10x to Undeclared PDF-5 Inhibitors in the Product Nature’s Rx is voluntarily recalling quantity lots of Silver Bullet 10x, description of dosage form to the hospital, retail or consumer level. This recall has been initiated because the product was found to contain undeclared sildenafil and tadalafil, the active ingredient in Viagra and Cialis respectively, which are PDE-5 inhibitors. The undeclared PDE-5 inhibitors in the product may pose serious health risks because consumers with underlying medical issues may take the products without knowing that they can cause serious harm or interact in dangerous ways with other drugs they may be taking. For example, PDE-5 inhibitors may interact with nitrates found in some prescription drugs (such as nitroglycerin) and thus can lower blood pressure to dangerous levels. Consumers with diabetes, high blood pressure, or heart disease often take nitrates.

Prime Minister releases ministerial mandate letter for Minister Jordan

January 29, 2019
Ottawa, Ontario

The Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, today released a new ministerial mandate letter to reflect recent changes to the Ministry and to guide the Government’s ongoing commitment to spur economic growth and create good, middle class jobs across the country.

Over the past three years, the Government has taken significant strides to fulfill its mandate and deliver meaningful results for Canadians. This month, we took another important step to ensure those results reach Canadians living in rural and remote areas by naming the new Minister of Rural Economic Development, Bernadette Jordan.

The mandate letter for Minister Jordan outlines the critical role that rural Canada plays to grow our economy and create good, middle class jobs. Working with Cabinet colleagues, Minister Jordan will develop a whole-of-government rural economic development strategy to diversify and strengthen rural economies, and create more opportunities for rural Canadians.

Minister Jordan will lead efforts to bring high-speed internet access to more people and businesses in rural Canada. She will also take action to help rural Canadians better access social programs that meet their needs, such as finding affordable housing and childcare.

Today’s announcement reaffirms the Government’s commitment to be the most open and accessible government possible, and deliver real, meaningful progress for Canadians.

Quote

“We know that Canadians living and working in rural areas face unique challenges, and that’s why we created this new role – to make sure they have the support and resources that respond to their needs. Whether it’s securing funding for important infrastructure projects, having a reliable internet connection so their businesses can grow, or finding local childcare services, rural Canadians should have access to what they need to provide for their families and succeed in the digital economy. When our rural communities thrive, Canada thrives.”
—The Rt. Hon. Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada

Quick Facts

• Publicly available mandate letters make it easier for Canadians to hold the government to account for its commitments. As part of a plan for a more open and transparent government, they are an important tool that allows Canadians to see the Prime Minister’s expectations for each minister and gives them a clear idea of how the government will deliver its agenda.
• Mandate letters outline the policy objectives that each minister will work to accomplish, as well as the pressing challenges that each minister will address in their role. They are not an exhaustive list of all files a minister will work on.

Statement by the Prime Minister on the second anniversary of the fatal shooting at the Centre culturel islamique de Québec

January 29, 2019
Ottawa, Ontario

The Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, today issued the following statement on the second anniversary of the fatal shooting at the Centre culturel islamique de Québec.

“Two years ago tonight, six people were killed and nineteen others were seriously injured in a terrorist attack at the Centre culturel islamique de Québec in Ste-Foy.

“On this anniversary, I join Canadians across the country to grieve those we lost and honour their memory. We hold the victims in our hearts, along with their families and loved ones, and all those whose lives were marked by this tragedy.

“We also recognize the heroes and first responders who saved lives that night and answered this act of hatred with courage. In the days and weeks that followed, Québec City – and communities across the country – did the same. Canadians came together to stand with our country’s Muslim communities, uniting in solidarity and hope.

“Today, we continue to speak with one voice: Islamophobia, hate, and discrimination have no place here or anywhere. We will never allow fear to divide us, and we will always defend the values that make us strong – openness, inclusion, equality, and the freedom to practice religion in safety and peace.

“On behalf of the Government of Canada, I ask all Canadians to pause today and remember the victims. They will stay in our hearts and memories forever.”
