Canadian Speaker Session 10: Canada and U.S. Approaches to Cross-Border Sales of Pharmaceuticals - Canadian Speaker

[First paragraph]: " Thanks very much, Sara. That was very helpful in setting the stage for my presentation, which is on the Canadian perspective on cross-border pharmaceutical trade, in particular on the rise of Internet pharmacies over the last several years. 

First, I want to thank you for inviting me to speak to you today. I am really honored to be here. I am going to review the background of the rise of Internet pharmacies and look at the regulatory framework in Canada that has allowed them to be profitable. I will look at the arguments for and against the pharmacies from the Canadian perspective, what the regulators are doing, and what they may do in the future to curtail the growth of Internet pharmacies."
