Thank you, Chair.
Thank you to all the witnesses for taking part in this meeting.
On Sunday I hosted a teleconference with seniors in my riding. The major concern I heard from them was the pharmacy dispensing fee. We need to ensure that all Canadians have access to their medications. When restrictions came into play there were changes in the frequency of prescription refills, and those who used to have three months' worth dispensed were restricted to only one month at a time. That is also tripling the dispensing fee.
I would like to hear from Heart and Stroke or the Organization for Rare Disorders. What are your thoughts on how this is impacting Canadians?
Maybe the Organization for Rare Disorders can answer first.
