https://www.policyalternatives.ca/news-research/the-federal-government-is-prioritizing-canadas-pharma-company-profits
* health minister's speech to pharmaceutical industry’s most imp't association

* > 2/3drugs fed gov't wants approved more rapidly are at best, minor therapeutic advances over existing products
* main beneficiaries: companies making them, not the patients taking them - another point the health minister didn't mention
