I'm sorry. Was that directed as me? I didn't hear the introductory part.
Certainly we believe very strongly that a single-payer pharmacare system is what is needed in Canada, and we hear from workers daily that they are falling through the cracks in not being able to access the medicines they need.
It is critical that we provide the same level of coverage right across this country, regardless of what sector or what geographical location people are in. This is because we know that a single-payer pharmacare system also means a decrease in the cost to provide that kind of service to all Canadians. We know, based on the Hoskins report, that tangible savings can be seen not just for individuals, but also for employers and businesses right across this country.
It is critical that every Canadian be able to access the medicines that they need so that they don't end up in doctors' offices and they don't end up in emergency rooms, and the only way to do that is to actually implement a full single-payer pharmacare system right across this country.
