Yes, absolutely.
I've also worked with Doctors Without Borders and I believe they have spoken to the panel on this same issue. This is forecast to increase drug prices in Canada. It may pose a problem if we ever try to bring pharmacare through.
Globally, we're already seeing population displacement out of the Syrian conflict that has to do with climate change. We're only going to see more of that. We are going to have more displaced populations. We're going to see more fights over food and water, and when guy number one goes to place number two, that's how TB gets transmitted and that's how Ebola spreads. That's how we've seen different viruses melting and emerging. People get put into contact with animals, and viruses are transmitted. We're going to see more diseases.
We're going to need to be able to respond really quickly to them and we're going to need to be able to provide medicines affordably to different populations here and abroad, and this agreement would limit our ability to do that. I don't see why we would sign on to something that limits our ability to have a health response.
