Amazon is hoping to trademark their new Amazon Pharmacy idea in Canada along with the U.K. and Australia.
The idea includes shipping prescriptions and medication to individual customers across the county.
To find out what people think, our news team asked locals what they think about the idea.
If Amazon continues to go through with the idea, they’ll have to keep a regulatory environment with national drug-pricing controls.
Amazon’s most recent medical service is their Pill-pack system in the U.S.
Pill-Pack allows buyers to order custom packaged pills as opposed to bottles.
The Canadian prescription industry alone is worth almost 45 billion dollars without competition interference.
Competitors across the country could include companies like Shoppers Drug mart, Rexall and other pharmaceutical-based companies.
