Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you to our witnesses for joining us again today to share their expertise on PMPRB.
We're living in a world where information is easily accessible to everyone at any time, in any form and anywhere. As a consequence, disinformation is easily accessible. It's often said that disinformation will be halfway around the world before the truth has put its shoes on.
Many if not most of us are not familiar with PMPRB. I'd like to take this opportunity to ask what is fact, what is not, and to elaborate where possible.
With this in mind, could you tell the committee whether the following statement is a myth or a fact: “Lower drug prices will lead to a loss of research and development and manufacturing”?
