This is an issue I care a lot about.
I want to dig down a little bit and start with a case. A nurse in Vancouver called me a year and a half ago. She was on a drug called Xolair, which is a biologic medication for asthma. BC PharmaCare decided to, I call it, bureaucratically substitute. It took the drug off the formulary. She was forced to actually move to Alberta, as a nurse, because the nurses' plan mirrored the B.C. pharmacare plan. There was a cost saving which BC PharmaCare was required to do, but she was actually forced to move.
On the good side of your report is a national patchwork-free kind of pharmacare system where every Canadian would have the same. On the downside, how do we ensure that Canadians have the drugs they need and that they are provided in an affordable way?
I'm not sure who wants to answer that.
