Generic AIDS drugs: still not getting from Canada to the world

I have a piece up on the Ottawa page of Xtra.ca today, talking about the Canadian Access to Medicines Regime. I wrote it last Thursday after a visit to the National Press Theatre. It was my first visit actually, as I'd never had the opportunity to attend a press conference there before, though I'd definitely seen it on television before, and I have to say, it's a nice facility - especially since the renovations they did last summer.

I expect to be reporting more on this story as Senator Goldstein's Private Members' Bill begins debate, though I'm not sure at the speed at which these things make their way through the Senate. Stay tuned.
