Couldn't Canada in this case change the way they handle the subsidy, such that they only subsidize drugs consumed by Canadian citizens, or some such? In other words, you can not export a subsidized drug without refunding the subsidy first. That way, imports would be at the negotiated cost plus markup, rather than the subsidized negotiated price.

In other words, it adds a small per-limit cost to the exporter to deal with individual people and aggregate, but doesn't address exporting overall very well.
