Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I thank all the witnesses for joining us today.
We're well into Friday afternoon. I know that it's past four o'clock, and most of the amendments have probably already been written down and passed on, but I want to emphasize the fact that this bill will go through clause-by-clause on Monday. It will be sent back to the House. We will have the opportunity to debate it, and then it will go to the Senate. That will present more opportunities for us to highlight areas where we could strengthen it.
I'm going to focus most of my questions on Dr. Morgan. I noticed that you were patiently waiting and that a number of times, you wanted to intervene. You were not given the opportunity, so I'm going to dedicate all my five minutes to you.
You were very complimentary about the Hoskins report. You also said that if certain elements are considered in the design, then this bill, Bill C-64, would be a good starting base for us to introduce pharmacare.
If I get up next week in the House and debate those areas on third reading, using Hoskins as a base and saying, “Hey, look, this is the reality of Bill C-64; this is the base in Hoskins, and these are the three areas I want to focus on to make sure this bill is strong”, what would those three areas be?
You have all the time you want before the chair stops you.
