Thanks, Dr. McLaughlin.
Yes, CORD's an awesome organization. We should maybe consider adding it to the list of witnesses.
You mentioned the cost of drugs for rare diseases. I think your average Canadian feels that pharmaceutical companies.... They sense this degree of uncompassionate profiteering when it comes to the lives of kids. Do you have any insight into how or why these drugs, which are so critical in...?
I think of a couple of kids in my riding. Statistically, there shouldn't be more than one, but there's more than one case of spinal muscular atrophy in Milton. The cost for those drugs was completely inaccessible. It was more than any family could afford, virtually. In working through the rigamarole.... I forget the name of the drug, because I'm thinking of the cystic fibrosis one, Trikafta.
