This is the beauty of the "Buy Canadian" movement in drugs. What will eventually happen isn't a meaningful reduction in our prices, but a boost in Canadian prices. Our prices will go down somewhat, eventually, simply because of the resultant price boost elsewhere, but they will make those profits somewhere.
