Unfortunately, our manufacturing and farmers continue to suffer under TPP (it was a bad deal), but for me I can accept that aside because of pharmaceuticals. Under TPP, brand-name drugs are protected (somewhat); I have a stipulation in my files that I do not take generic drugs, and this is especially due to the garbage we get under 'generic'. If our government is required to pay more for pharmaceuticals, then so be it, how dare they flood the market with garbage drugs that don't work or have killed people. If they can afford to throw money out the door by the millions, then they can at least afford to buy proper drugs for Canadians. I can assure you that the people at the top making decisions, do not buy generic drugs.
