Australia is one of those countries that's doing a good job of that. They have a lot more generics than we do. They have an almost free drug program. New Zealand is doing a great job. If you look at Scotland and Wales, nobody pays anything for their drugs there. In Great Britain, in general, there's hardly any...but they're developing some drugs. There are lots of examples in the world. Most of Europe, Australia, and New Zealand have it. I was in Australia last year and saw how they are developing their generics. It is a worldwide trade with who they produce the generics for, who they ship them out to, and so on.
Here we're getting new drugs coming on the market with one ingredient; the name is changed, the price goes up. It's a terrible racket. Then there's the safety. They say now you shouldn't take a pill or a drug unless it's been on the market for three or four years, because we don't know with these new drugs what half of them are doing, and yet people are demanding them. With a pharmaceutical program, there would be no advertising. You would streamline the number of drugs coming on the market, and you would pick the best drugs so that Canadians would have the best medical care they could possibly get.
All of those things people have put together in very good studies. They're all available, and we certainly need them.
