The Canadian government is mulling a new bill issued by health officials in Canada that would see the sale of drugs over the internet banned. Debate has been raging as drugs are cheaper in Canada, and US patients are buying them online.
Online drug sales and reimportation of US-made drugs is a US$700 million industry that will be effectively non-existent should the bill make it through the government. The US has tried to stop reimportation as the drugs aren’t guaranteed to be safe.
A proposal will be officially handed over to the Canadian parliament at the end of this month.
