OTTAWA, ON / ACCESSWIRE / June 29, 2020 / Innovative Medicines Canada released the following statement today in response to the Federal Court of Canada's decision on its judicial review application regarding the Patented Medicine Prices Review Board amendments to the Patented Medicines Regulations:
'We have just received the Federal Court's decision and are reviewing it with our members and with counsel to assess its impact.

'The innovative medicines industry has demonstrated its vital role in the health and well-being of Canadians through the COVID-19 crisis, and we must foster a regulatory environment that encourages it to grow and thrive.
