Thank you very much, Madam Chair, and I want to thank the witnesses for being here today.
I wanted to start with Dr. Morgan because I think you hit the nail on the head when you said that our system is fragmented. The more I look at this situation, it seems that we have the provinces and territories deciding which drugs they cover, but there doesn't seem to be a lot of strategy or control in looking at what drugs they do cover.
When you've presented this idea of trying to make the system less fragmented, have you actually presented to the Council of the Federation? They seem to be in a position...because the provinces are the lead on this particular issue as far as many of the drugs that are prescribed in Canada. Have you ever talked to them about looking at a way of containing the costs or expenditures on these drugs?
