As the member knows, the PMPRB is not the reason this drug is not being marketed in Canada. There may be a multiplicity of reasons.
The PMPRB is a very important body. It helps regulate prices of pharmaceuticals in Canada. We know that many countries that have much lower medicine prices gain access to new medicines in the same time frame or even faster than Canada does. It's part of our commitment to improving the PMPRB review to ensure that pricing in Canada of life-saving drugs, as she says, is affordable to Canadians all across the country.
