Consultations

The PMPRB is committed to listening to the voices and views of Canadians, and to including them in decision making. Effective and meaningful stakeholder involvement is essential to enable the PMPRB to fulfil its mandate, deliver programs, launch new initiatives, and build public trust.

As outlined in the Consultation Policy, the PMPRB strives to regularly engage industry and other stakeholders through a variety of channels. Dialogue leads to more creative solutions, more effective policies, and better decision making. Some recent initiatives include:

• DIP Methodology Technical Working Group

Notice and Comment

From time to time the PMPRB invites formal comment from the public on proposed changes to guidelines, regulations, or policy, or on a proposed decision by the Board that could affect health care costs across the country. Formal notices are published in the Canada Gazette.
