Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you for joining us. We are very fortunate to have you here with us.
My first question has to do with the fact that it seems a consensus has been reached during the 2015 pan-Canadian ministerial tour on the coverage of drug prescriptions. According to all parts of the government, too many Canadians still have no or insufficient coverage. It seems that if this portion of drug coverage is not reformed, the situation could become exacerbated or take a turn for the worse.
Could you tell me what your thoughts are on the issue?
