Thank you, Mr. Huston, for your presentation. It's been clearly represented here that your sector would benefit. We've heard across the western provinces from many farmers, and we recognize the importance of your wanting access into those markets. What you said really struck me. You said that you wished that we all do well, that Canadians all do well.
We have Ms. Mehra saying that pharmaceutical costs will increase drastically under the TPP, which would impact all Canadians—your family, your communities, everyone—in such a significant way. We hear from many Canadians that they can't afford their medication as it is, and they are making horrible health decisions because they're unable to put money on the table for those pharmaceuticals. I appreciate that your sector would thrive, but we're trying to balance this with whom it be detrimental for and hurt.
To Ms. Mehra, pharmacare is something that we have wanted to pursue for many years and we see it as the second pillar of our medicare system in Canada. It's outrageous that we have the second-highest cost. Would we be able to implement a pharmacare program if we were under ISDS provisions?
