Canada's regulatory system is portrayed as inefficient and obstructive to development
The article repeatedly emphasizes delays and capital stagnation due to regulatory uncertainty, using loaded language like 'parked' and 'get out of our own way' to frame existing processes as failing.
“You can’t have three, $400-million parked for six, seven, eight or 10 years on the idea that you might get an approval”
Regulatory caution is framed as actively harmful rather than protective
The article equates regulatory delays with guaranteed death, framing safety protocols not as protective but as lethally obstructive, without acknowledging risks of unproven therapies.
“What we need is a system that recognizes that doing nothing is a decision that is deadly, 100% of the time.”
