RE:RE:MondayIf you listen to or read the commentary from the Pfizer CEO in the link and then listen to the "Procurement Minister's" comments following it does not give a person a lot of confidence as to where our country is going in the pharmaceutical field i.e. it is not unlike the rest of our Government's dealings. She also comments on the "environmental" moves coming up like with a carbon tax amounting to 27.6 cents per litre of gasoline.
We could be on our way to becoming a third world country as we tax and spend our way into oblivion and squash all reason's for future innovation unless it's got a green glow -- and that's not money green!

Head of Pfizer Canada says current Canadian policies stalling domestic pharmaceutical innovation
On “The West Block” this week Pfizer Canada President Cole Pinnow tells Mercedes Stephenson the Canadian government collaborated well with the company throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. However, Pinnow says in the past four years Pfizer has been unable to engage in meaningful conversations with Ottawa. He says, “we would really like to partner with the government to find ways to change their current policies that really deter the capital investment that brings innovative technology in the pharmaceutical sector to Canada.”
