Thank you, Madam Chair.
I want to thank the three witnesses for being here.
I have a question for Ms. Scott, from the CCPA.
You mentioned the issue of access to medication. I participated in the Beauharnois-Salaberry seniors round table in my constituency. People were saying that seniors had trouble accessing medication, which can be quite expensive. Even though we're in Quebec, certain medication is difficult for some seniors to afford. As you were saying, the salaries and pensions aren't very high.
It's also a very rural area. Seniors don't necessarily have a car or access to transportation to travel to the hospital or to run errands, as my colleague said.
You spoke briefly about the universal public drug coverage system. What can you tell us about this type of system? Is there a model elsewhere that could be applied in Canada? Do you know of any studies that support this model?
