You don't have to justify what you're doing from the perspective of compassion. No one wants you to be compassionate more than we do. What I'm saying is that if the common drug review is so terrific, how come it hasn't taken those things into consideration?
The provinces would not agree that the general population is well served. They are rejecting the recommendations of the common drug review, listing things that have had a negative recommendation and not listing things that have a positive recommendation.
It isn't the population base. I think all the people who had decision-making power before the common drug review are simply hanging on to it. The only thing in your speech that seemed to be positive was that Prince Edward Island, which is the size of my county in population, is benefiting because they couldn't afford to do this themselves.
