The Globe and Mail published an article this week, stating Spanish drugmaker Griffols is profiting from the sale of products made from blood plasma donated by Canadians.
The Federal Conservatives have also uncovered that Brookfield Asset Management, which Prime Minister Mark Carney invested in significantly in the past, have made several attempts over the past year to acquire Griffols.
Riding Mountain M-P and Conservative Health critic Dan Mazier has called for an investigation into these findings, adding the federal Liberals have some explaining to do.
"Why are foreign companies and corporations such as Griffols profiting off of blood plasma donated by Canadians, without their knowledge. And the other question is what would Mark Carney's financial gain be if Brookfield acquired Griffols, given that the company has worked to take control of the firm that profits from Canadian plasma."
Mazier added that Canadians give blood to save lives, not to line the pockets of foreign companies or the prime minister.
