Thank you, Chair.
Thank you to all the witnesses.
My question is for the Neighbourhood Pharmacy Association and Ms. Hanna.
For several years pharmacists have been advocating for an increased role as primary care providers, including having prescribing authority for certain conditions and medications in some remote communities. Pharmacists may already be the closest resource primary care provider. How do you see this playing a role in addressing the human resources concern in the health care system? What do you see?
