Mr. Speaker, the health committee is diligently investigating the online pharmacy issue so that the best interests of Canadians will be served, yet the minister is determined to act rashly and shut down the industry, ignoring the health committee. Obviously he is under pressure from the U.S. government. Thousands of Canadians will be affected because the minister is caving in to the Americans.
What representation or correspondence has the minister received from Washington? Why will he not stand up to the American arm twisting?
