Last word to you, Mr. Cloutier. There has been reference in this meeting and at others of drug shortages in this country. Canada at one time had a public drug company, Connaught Laboratories.
Is it time for the federal government to look at re-establishing a national public drug company that could work with academic institutions, which, after all, provide a lot of the research that goes into new chemicals to help Canada perhaps address the chronic problem of drug shortages?
