This committee's inquiry was followed in Canada by the investigation on the manufacture, distribution and sale of drugs undertaken by the Director of Investigation and Research under the Combines Investigation Act. His study was, in turn, followed by hearings initiated by the Federal Restrictive Trade Practices Commission to ascertain whether or not price-fixing of drugs exists at any, or all three, of the manufacturing, distributing and retailing levels. The primary aim has been to include constructive and factual information derived from objective evidence within the Canadian context"--Introduction.
