Mr. Speaker, drug shortages are a serious public health problem.
Unlike the United States, the European Union and New Zealand, Canada does not have a mandatory drug shortage registry. This situation is unacceptable. We cannot leave it to companies to decide whether to disclose, or not disclose, shortages. A voluntary approach is not a solution.
Will the government work with the NDP to pass my bill in order to ensure that a mandatory registry is created, yes or no?
