Mr. Speaker, I assume the health minister has taken note of the most recent statistics showing drug costs going through the roof. I hope she understands how untenable this situation is and realizes that if there is one issue that threatens the sustainability of public health care in Canada today it is this issue of escalating drug costs.
I hope she is revisiting some of the old, broken Liberal promises for such things as a national drug plan and reduced patent protection.
I want to know, what is her plan today to rein in uncontrolled drug costs?
