Thank you, Mr. Staples.
You opened the door for me by talking about prescription drug coverage. That is also part of our negotiations and the results we have achieved.
I am an MP from Montreal. In Quebec, there is already a prescription drug insurance program, but it is a hybrid one, both public and private. This causes a number of problems, especially for part-time workers. That's why the FTQ, CSN and CSQ, the major labour unions in Quebec, are calling for a public and universal program.
This is part of the agreement. In your view, as we look ahead to the next steps for pharmacare, particularly in the 2023 budget, should we be guided by the recommendations in the Hoskins Report, the Final Report of the Advisory Council on the Implementation of a National Pharmacare Program?
