Mr. Kelly, on February 27, 2024, the Calgary and Edmonton chambers of commerce issued a joint statement calling on the Government of Alberta to discuss the viability of a federal pharmacare plan in their province. They said:
With the ongoing labour shortage and need to attract talent, and the cost to employers for providing health-related benefits, along with the financial benefit of pooling resources across provinces, a national pharmacare program, if developed well, could benefit Alberta’s economy.
Do you agree with that statement?
