So.
Where do THOSE drugs come from?
Are they manufactured in Canada beginning to end?
If Canada needs them will they restrict export like India just did?
AuroPharma has a huge manufacturing facility in Canada and Teva isn’t far behind. There’s also Boehringer Ingelhelm and GlaxoSmithKlein (makes COPD inhaler products). In the States we have a Bayer facility along with Bayer in Germany, and there’s Novatis and Alcon in Switzerland. And then there’s France, England and India.
We have the lab and manufacturing resources already in place, and China doesn’t have a monopoly on precursors.
I believe we can go around China rather quickly. Maybe not in a ‘off-the-shelf-next-week’ but within a timeframe that will still make the CCP’s head spin around like the Exorcist.
