Health Canada wins award

"Over a period of more than five years, Health Canada denied any
meaningful access to a database of prescription drugs that could harm
or even
kill Canadians. The department refused to release information on
adverse drug
reactions in a format that would allow researchers to study the
records
electronically in order to spot trends and identify which drugs are
causing
problems. For more than five years, the department would only release
the
information in a computer format that prevented deeper ****ysis."
The program that forced access. It has been cancelled. (Did they make
someone uncomfortable?)
