In a recent commentary,1 it was stated that Health Canada uses the World Health Organization Good Clinical Practice (GCP) guideline. In 1997, Health Canada adopted the GCP guideline developed by the International Conference on Harmonization.2 In notifying us of the error, Jean Saint-Pierre, coordinator at the Good Clinical Practice Unit at Health Canada, stated that the Health Products and Food Branch Inspectorate has been conducting GCP inspections on clinical trials. These inspections assess the level of compliance with GCP of qualified investigators conducting trials. Two summary reports of findings made during these inspections are publicly available.3
