| Description |
|
| Focus of lobbying efforts will be on representations relating to the conditions under which innovative drugs and vaccines are marketed and reimbursed in Nova Scotia, including under the Nova Scotia Pharmacare Programs and the Nova Scotia Drug Formulary or under federal
legislation. More specifically, representations are made to support a favourable and knowledgeable environment to implement new or improve current immunizations programs, the
integrations of drugs into the Nova Scotia Pharmacare Programs and the Nova Scotia Drug Formulary and to emphasize the importance that the federal and provincial governments respect their respective jurisdiction with respect to the approval, marketing and reimbursement of drugs. Merck Canada’s objective is to preserve a regulatory framework which creates a favourable business environment for the development of the life science sector, including
innovative drugs vaccines, which are the company’s main sectors of
activities.
