I’m saying that even if we don’t have reciprocity, if the drug is separately approved in both countries, it should be legal to buy in Canada and take to the US.

No, because our system of approvals does not treat re-import the same as direct import.

We should define that if a drug is OK to buy in Canada it can be imported to the US.
