Thank you for the question.
Through you, Mr. Chair, that's a key point, because they don't know. They're confused. The seniors who are watching today—and I know many of them are—are going to see that, if there are this many questions about the coverage for those with diabetes, what's it going to mean for the rest of us? What will it mean for those of us with heart and other conditions, and for people who need the coverage?
They're confused, they're worried and they're fearful. I'm not just assuming this. Our members write us weekly, if not daily, about their concerns. Why is this going so quickly? Why don't we know what's going to be covered?
I had a woman call me the other day to say that her husband had retired last fall and then he passed away. She still had his drug coverage, but couldn't afford her payment part and was told that she couldn't get rid of it and get onto the new program.
Whether or not this is going to be changed in the future, that's the kind of thing that's worrying seniors. When they hear a discussion like they're hearing today, whether they're in Ontario, in Nova Scotia where I am or in B.C., they're worried about what they see as an incomplete framework.
