Mr. Speaker, the federal insurance policy, which covers at least 30,000 federal public servants in Quebec, offers more than the minimums required by the Quebec legislation for 98 per cent of those insured.
Our policy covers a wider range of drugs. It includes medical items such as glasses, which are not covered under Quebec's health insurance plan. Our deductibles are also lower.
Therefore, given that 98 per cent of our members have a better policy than the one available, we feel justified in keeping it.
