Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Health and it concerns Internet pharmacies.
The minister will know that two major controversies have erupted around this issue in recent days. The first is related to the fact that there were counterfeit pharmaceuticals on the market and the second is that one physician had made nearly one-quarter of a million dollars in commissions for signing Internet prescriptions.
Is the minister prepared to discuss this matter with his provincial counterparts in order to shut down or at least monitor such practices?
