I want to get back to the issue of medication, particularly.
Thanks to the protection of patents and intellectual property, the pharmaceutical industry will be able to continue to make enormous profits and, God knows that the cost of medication in Canada is among the highest in the world. It is as though the pharmaceutical companies want to use the agreement to prevent governments from exercising some control, from regulating the cost of medication, facilitating the making of generic drugs and facilitating access to medication. Those companies seem to think that such measures threaten their business, and so this could lead to lawsuits on their part. We think that this is very serious, because we are talking about public health policy, public services. We absolutely must protect our governments' power to make policy.
