Mr. Speaker, I want to thank my colleague for taking part in this very important debate on drug shortages. The thing that bothers me is that all the Conservative MPs who rose in this House this evening spoke mostly about provincial responsibilities, even though the emergency debate was about finding out what the federal government is going to do to help come up with solutions to prevent future shortages.
The Minister of Health said she was going to try to speed up the process for approving other suppliers more quickly and efficiently. Still, there also need to be reporting mechanisms to ensure that, for instance, a mandatory registry is imposed on the drug suppliers and that we have a plan B for the long term to make sure this does not happen again.
