Thank you.
To further elaborate on this, of course, there's sometimes a public perception, with this number of $33.9 billion a year going out, that the federal government would somehow need to find an extra $33.9 billion a year. However, according to our testimony as well, $12.9 billion a year is already being paid by provincial taxpayers through their different systems. From the PBO report, there would be an additional savings of $4.5 billion just through a national drug-buying program. National pharmacare would also basically make a number of other expenses obsolete. If you're paying for medications, tax credits cost the federal government $2.5 billion a year, which would likewise be unnecessary, if people weren't paying for medications.
What would be your comments on this being a much more sustainable program, given all these savings that have been mentioned in the report?
