Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to tell the House and all Canadians that November 3 to 9 is Pharmacy Awareness Week.
Various activities will take place in communities across Canada to promote the fact that pharmacists are experts on the use of medications.
This year's theme is “A healthy partnership—You and your pharmacist. Finding solutions together” stresses the idea that health is a shared responsibility. Pharmacists and the public are key partners in Canadian health care services.
Pharmacists can also be partners with other health care groups in finding solutions to health care problems.
This week is an opportunity for all Canadians to learn how their pharmacist can help them improve their health.
