Past Major Consultations

When the PMPRB is considering changes to its Guidelines, Regulations or policies that it expects could have a major impact, the PMPRB may, in addition to the Notice and Comment process, host public, face-to-face consultations across Canada to ensure all stakeholders have the opportunity to provide informed, detailed responses in-person to Board Staff. These consultations are based on a detailed analysis of the issues at hand provided to participants in advance of the consultation.

The following major consultations have now concluded:

• PMPRB Guidelines Scoping Paper - High Level Overview of Potential New Framework (Canada Gazette, Part I)

  • Phase 1 of this consultation concluded on October 31, 2016. Visit the Rethinking the Guidelines section to view the submissions we received.
