The section sets out principles, as you've set out. Very much as is stated there, in moving towards the implementation of national universal pharmacare, you've heard the minister refer to this as a first phase. You've heard the minister also refer to the other section of the bill that speaks to contraceptives and diabetes as part of that first phase.
This sets up the framework generally for the broader discussions that will take place in a step-by-step manner to create the national universal pharmacare program.
“Universal” has the meaning that I think most people would consider it has, which is that everyone—every resident of Canada, everyone who's living here—would have access to a pharmacare program.
