Background on Rx&D
About Rx&D
• Canada’s Research-Based Pharmaceutical Companies (Rx&D) is the national association representing approximately 24,000 Canadians who work for this country’s 53 research-based pharmaceutical companies.
• Comprised of companies of all sizes, the majority of which are based in Canada, the Association’s membership is part of the global pharmaceutical industry whose members are responsible for developing in excess of 90 % of the medicines that are available today.
Rx&D’s Mission
Canada’s Research-Based Pharmaceutical Companies improves the quality of life of all Canadians and enhances our health care system by fostering the discovery, development and availability of new medicines.
Bill C-9
Bill C-9
• This legislation was a response to the WTO Decision of August 2003
• Consultations were held with a wide variety of stakeholders• Rx&D played a constructive and supportive role in the
process• Bill C-9 is a successful example of how IPR can be used to
improve access to medicines • Government of Canada effectively implemented the WTO
Decision while faithfully addressing domestic Canadian considerations
Benefits of Bill C-9
• Focuses on the Needs of Under-Developed Countries
• Provides a Workable Process
• Is a Fair Solution
Main Features of Bill C-9
• Includes voluntary licensing stage • Includes schedules of countries and products

• Not specific to only HIV/AIDS, Malaria and TB• Calls for generic distinguishability• Expected that generic products will undergo Canadian review
and approval• Opportunity to apply to the Canadian Federal Court for
oversight of the compulsory licence• Including if a contract is “commercial in nature”
Bill C-9’s Safeguards
• Duration of contracts is 2 years with one possible renewal• Only products approved and sold in Canada• Only generic products manufactured in Canada• NGOs can contract with permission• The process is transparent

Conclusions
Conclusions
• The research-based pharmaceutical industry is an active participant in global pharmaceutical partnership initiatives
• Members of Rx&D are actively involved in researching treatments to address a number of diseases that primarily affect developing countries
• The passage of Bill C-9 provides the international community with an example of a fair, workable process that will effectively address the medical needs of poor countries
• Rx&D’s role in the development of Bill C-9 is a prime example of how stakeholder involvement can effectively address humanitarian needs while maintaining a competitive IP environment for innovation
• Competitive IP protection in Canada has resulted in:• Significant R&D growth• Increased R&D-related employment• Development of a vibrant biotech community
• Improving IP has not negatively impacted Canada’s thriving generic pharmaceutical sector
