From 2022 on BTNX rapid tests:
"BTNX which is headquartered in Markham, but does its manufacturing in China, has supplied nearly 40 million rapid antigen tests to the federal government as of Dec. 31 [2021]
The low-profile company has been run for decades by Iqbal Sunderani, who has a degree in civil engineering from University of Manchester. BTNX’s “production process is split between China & Canada, with quality assurance and labelling completed in #Canada.”
@gemelliz “The privatization of Connaught Labs in the 1980s marked the end of an impressive Canadian public enterprise that had boldly defied the norms of the pharmaceutical industry for decades, by putting human health before corporate profits... Drug manufacturers and pharmacists objected to having their prices undercut” #cdnpoli https://thetyee.ca/Analysis/2019/11/08/Canada-Public-Lab-Life-Saving-Drugs/
