"In January 2016, federal, provincial and territorial Ministers agreed to work together to improve the affordability, accessibility and appropriate use of prescription drugs to better meet health care system needs. ... This important work includes reducing the cost of patented drugs through the modernization of the pricing framework under the Patented Medicine Prices Review Board (PMRPB).

Despite significant changes in the pharmaceutical market, the regulations have not been substantively changed in over two decades. Health Canada is consulting stakeholders and interested members of the public on proposed amendments to the Regulations, to equip the PMPRB with more relevant and effective regulatory tools to better protect Canadians from excessive prices for patented drugs. ... Feedback received on or before June 28th, 2017, will be considered in developing a regulatory proposal under the Patent Act to protect Canadians from excessive drug prices. A summary of comments will be published in the RIAS statement at Canada Gazette, Part I"--p. 3 and p. 16.
