E-drug: Siting policies for retail/community pharmacies? (cont'd)
---------------------------------------------
Pharmacies in all Canadian provinces operate strictly on a free
market system. Pharmacies can open/close in any area that they
choose. The government does not impose any requirements on
where pharmacies can or cannot operate. In isolated areas where
there are no pharmacies physicians can get licenses to dispense
medications. (Assuming that there are physicians in those areas.)
