The Patented Medicine Prices Review Board changed its reference pricing list for setting drug prices. The new regulations were supposed to come into effect on January 1 of this year, but the government still has not passed them. That is just wrong. The government caved in to pressure from the big pharma lobby.<sup></sup></p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5993365\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Does the government still plan to adopt these regulations and if so, when?</p>",

Or la situation devrait avoir chang\u00e9. Le Conseil d'examen du prix des m\u00e9dicaments brevet\u00e9s a chang\u00e9 sa liste de prix de r\u00e9f\u00e9rence pour \u00e9tablir les prix. Ce nouveau r\u00e8glement est suppos\u00e9 \u00eatre en vigueur depuis le 1<sup>er</sup> janvier dernier, mais le gouvernement ne l'a toujours pas adopt\u00e9. C'est vilain. Le lobby des compagnies pharmaceutiques fait pression et le gouvernement s'\u00e9crase.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5993365\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Le gouvernement compte-t-il toujours adopter son r\u00e8glement et, si oui, quand?</p>"
