Yes, it is.
Now I would like to come back to the issue of public universal pharmacare. That was a commitment the government made in the last election. It has abandoned that in this budget and his budget bill, as you well know. The proposed Canada pharmacare act was killed in the House of Commons a few weeks ago by the votes of government MPs.
I know that Canada's nurses were front and centre in supporting the drive for public universal pharmacare and that there are 10 million Canadians who have no access to drug plans, and so I ask how important is it to put in place public universal pharmacare so that Canadians can actually get the medications their doctors prescribe and stay in better health and away from emergency rooms?
