Thank you so much. On Persons Day I have to take a moment to say to Mr. Marshall that my great-aunt, Viola MacMillan, was the president of the Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada from 1944 to 1966. She is also an inductee into the Canadian Mining Hall of Fame. I have quite a history with mining in Canada.
I think you highlighted well for us the real issues that exist and the domestic concerns that exist. You're not the first sector to sit in front of us and say that we need some policies here at home before we can access those markets in the way that we anticipate doing. I think you did a great job of highlighting the barriers we have at home that need to be addressed first, in isolation of these agreements.
My question is going to go to Ms. Little. What I'd like to touch upon is something that you mentioned, which was the cost of drugs in the Northwest Territories. Certainly something we've heard over and over at this committee with the trans-Pacific partnership is the concern about the high cost of drugs. I believe we're already number two or three in the word in the OECD for costs. It's a real concern we've heard across this country on our tour.
I wonder if you can speak specifically about the impact of higher drug costs on the people of the Canadian territories.
