IADSA
Dear Penny,
I am not sure that we have ever met, or how long you have been involved in this matter. Suffice to say that the interests of IADSA are antitheical to the interests of at least 95% of Canadian industry.
There is a profound difference between what the feduciaries of public companies want and what is in the best interests of the majority of your voting membership. For future reference please be aware that Randy Denin of IADSA is (or was) a corporate officer of Pfizer Inc. Mr. Hathcock (sp) of CRN is a former hardball FDA regulator. I am reliably informed by many top US-based legal and industry leaders that NNFA is at least a decade beyond its best before date.
While I apprciate the many skills Ms. Bell brings to the table at CHFA, experience with, and appreciation of, the trials and tribulations of small to medium manufacturers and retail health food shops is conspicuously absent from her professional career.
If you have any questions on any of the forgoing I would be pleased to speak with you at any time. I can be reached at 1 250 318 5005 (in the pst time zone) most days.
Kindest regards,
Peter Helgason
