The universal pharmacare program.... The targeting principle says that we help those who need help, not wealthy people who don't need help. That's what I mean. I didn't say “eliminate it”. We already have pharmacare in Canada.
One of the great urban legends right now is that Canada doesn't have pharmacare. Of all prescription drugs in Canada, 43% are funded through the provincial ministries of health. Almost half of all our prescription drugs are already under pharmacare. It is just simply false to say that we don't have a pharmacare program in Canada. We do.
