Mr. Speaker, the health minister dithers aloud that the government may or may not restrict Internet pharmacies in Canada. We know the industry has been selling online for five years without impact on the Canadian drug supply, as admitted by the minister. We know that the Internet pharmacies contribute 4,000 jobs and $1 billion to the economy, much of it in rural Canada, yet the Liberals talk of heavy-handed legislation that may eliminate the industry entirely.
Will the minister guarantee that his government will not legislate Internet pharmacies out of business?
