    It’s not just building the factories. The FDA has to minutely inspect the factory and it’s procedures, and give it’s approval before they can sell anything made there. It takes time for that to happen, especially with the RIFs they’re pushing through (which is relevant because they also re-inspect the factories every … ?5? years and they’re having problems keeping up with the current batch of factories).

      Health Canada, not FDA. And I’m not 100% sure if it’s Health Canada that deals with those inspections or provincial authorities.

        Sorry, I mis-read the original comment and thought they were telling about building additional pharmaceutical plants in the States.
