As you may know, this committee is studying the scope of practice and is particularly supportive of increased scope of practice for pharmacists, in particular, the ability to provide immunizations. I'm of European descent, and in Europe for quite some time now you've had the traditional apothecary where you could have your medication provided by the pharmacist at hours that are convenient to you or to young families and so on. It's certainly much more efficient for the entire health care system.
We of course suspended that study to bring forward this critical piece of legislation. I think you would concur that this legislation is imperative to deal with so that we may proceed. It's been waiting now for decades. Obviously there are lives to be saved potentially by enacting this legislation. I think we can certainly all agree around this table that this was critical to bring forward.
