Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Grimes, for treating, as was mentioned, Greg McGinnis last week. He comes from the city of Barrie, which I have the honour of representing, and I know that meant the world to him. So thank you for your support and indulgence of his needs last week.
But I'm sure there are thousands of other individuals like Greg. I know he had his own private drug plan, and Kirsty commented on the extent to which drug plans don't meet the needs of many Parkinson's patients. That's something that we hadn't really heard before last week when it was first brought up to us by Greg.
What sense do you have that this is very common across Canada, and how many people do you think are in the same position as Greg in that their drug plans significantly don't meet their requirements?
