Absolutely. That's one of the reasons the NDP supports public pharmacare is to replace those with one MS plan per province would be enormously efficient.
You anticipated my next question on the Patented Medicine Prices Review Board. It's puzzling to me, Minister, because for almost three years your government promised to overhaul the Patented Medicine Prices Review Board to lower our drug prices. The finance department estimated that those reforms would lower drug prices for Canadians by $12.6 billion over 10 years. Then your government announced that those changes would be put in place at the end of 2018, yet they have not to this day.
We're in 2019, almost June. We still don't have them. Why has your government been so slow to implement changes to the PMPRB that everybody knows would immediately start saving billions of dollars in lower costs for Canadians? I'm curious as to why you haven't implemented them when they're so obviously there.
