Mr. Speaker, I want to make a comment regarding what the hon. member for Vancouver Centre said earlier, that she was somewhat confused about where provincial and territorial decisions are being made. It also seems that the NDP is slightly confused. I am happy to provide some direction on this.
There is leadership being shown and it is on the issue of supply. Although the provincial and territorial areas are responsible for determining drug supply and for determining what suppliers will be used in their jurisdiction, we are in a circumstance where we are working with industry and we will help identify and fast-track. That is our responsibility. However, it is the responsibility of the provinces and territories to work with suppliers to ensure that those patients who they know well in their jurisdictions are receiving the medications they need. We encourage them to do so. I would like the member opposite's comments on that.
