Mr. Speaker, prescription drug abuse is a public health emergency. Health ministers across Canada are unanimous. Approving a generic form of OxyContin will make it worse.
The College of Family Physicians of Canada is against it. The Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police is against it. Aboriginal leaders from across the country are against it.
If the minister will not reverse her decision, will she at least ensure that generic OxyContin will be excluded from the federal drug benefit lists?
