MPhA's Special General Meeting 1. Members are advised that as they prepare for the MPhA Special General Meeting on Wednesday, November 22nd , 2006, the MSP Website ( www.msp.mb.ca ), provides a variety of background information on Bill 41, including the following: · Bill 41 – The Pharmaceutical Act Position Statement · Bill 41 – The Pharmaceutical Act MSP Member Survey Results · Legal Analysis of Bill 41 – The Pharmaceutical Act · Summary of Legal Analysis – Bill 41 · Bill 41 The Manitoba Pharmaceutical Act 2. MSP Government Relations Committee's Response to Jeremy Cockerill's Document of November 14th. Jeremy Cockerill circulated widely to pharmacists a document on November 14 th , 2006. On page 2 of the document he wrote the following: “Are you aware that the Manitoba Society of Pharmacists had an independent legal review of Bill 41 conducted on behalf of all interested stakeholders? This independent legal review came to the same conclusion as many pharmacists, this Bill, in its present form, is not in the best interest of pharmacists or the public.” The MSP Government Relations Committee does not accept Mr. Cockerill's assessment of the “conclusion” of the legal opinion. Robert Dawson's legal opinion includes reasoned positions on various sections of Bill 41. The legal opinion does not express an overall opinion consistent with the conclusion expressed in Mr. Cockerill's document. Members are encouraged to read the 18 page legal opinion in its entirety ( www.msp.mb.ca/PDF/bill41.pdf ), so that they are familiar with the actual opinions expressed. 3. MPhA Special General Meeting, Wednesday, November 22nd, 2006 The Special General Meeting is scheduled for: November 22, 2006 at 7:30 MSP Members are encouraged to attend. MSP |
