Back in October 2022, the framework for diabetes in Canada was released, marking a major milestone to better support Canadians. Through budget 2021, the government committed $20 million to research through the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation and the Canadian Institutes of Health Research partnership to defeat diabetes, including $15 million matched by the JDRF.
Since February 29, you all have been having discussions on Bill C-64 around national universal pharmacare, with diabetes being a very important pillar to that bill.
Thank you very much.
