The Advisory Committee on Pharmaceuticals (ACP) comprises representatives
from the federal, provincial, and territorial publicly funded drug plans and other
related health organizations. ACP provides advice on pharmaceutical issues to
the Canadian Agency for Drugs and Technologies in Health’s Board, the Common
Drug Review program, and the Health Technology Assessment program. Committee
members also facilitate effective jurisdictional sharing of pharmaceutical
information. The mandate, roles, and responsibilities of the committee are
outlined in the ACP
terms of reference.
