16 March 2018 - Rebates not allowed in province in bid to drive down overall price of generics.
Costco is under investigation by an Ontario government forensic team that specializes in "allegations of wrongdoing against government" after the retail giant received $1.2 million in potentially illegal payments from a generic drugmaker, The Fifth Estate has learned.
