4 Treasury Board approved authority to increase reference levels in Vote 35 (Program expenditures) by $5.6 million for 2009-2010. This funding will allow the Patented Medicine Prices Review Board to: 1) hold necessary hearings into excessive prices in a timely manner, as required by the Patent Act; 2) address the increase in workload anticipated as significantly more patented drug products sold by generic companies come under its jurisdiction; 3) modernize its Excessive Price Guidelines, to better deal with new forms of incremental pharmaceutical innovation; 4) replace its outdated data management system, which houses and manipulates all of the confidential sales and price information filed by patentees; 5) strengthen its policy and economic analysis capacity to better anticipate and respond to emerging and evolving developments in the regulatory environment and the pharmaceutical sector; and 6) maintain the timeliness of ongoing price reviews and investigations.
