MP Julian, you're really hitting a hard line with the nurse in me.
We did a report a few years ago on the number of patients dying. Just with two categories, which were diabetes and heart disease, we are talking in the thousands who are dying every year because of the lack of medication.
I didn't even understand that Stats Canada was collecting the data of patients who were not able to take their prescription drugs and the impact it would have in the long term and in dying. That's the extreme. What we're talking about today is giving them a chance with these two types of drugs to have a healthy life, to have more control and to not enter our hospitals or our emergencies to get their prescription drugs.
