Head of Pfizer Canada says current Canadian policies stalling domestic pharmaceutical innovation

On “The West Block” this week Pfizer Canada President Cole Pinnow tells Mercedes Stephenson the Canadian government collaborated well with the company throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. However, Pinnow says in the past four years Pfizer has been unable to engage in meaningful conversations with Ottawa. He says, “we would really like to partner with the government to find ways to change their current policies that really deter the capital investment that brings innovative technology in the pharmaceutical sector to Canada.”
