Mr. Speaker, the people of Lac-Mégantic want an inquiry. Will the government give them one?
When the agreement with Europe was signed, the government promised to compensate the provinces for the increase in drug costs and the impact on health care costs. It was even included in the mandate letter for the Minister of Foreign Affairs. Three years later, there is nothing, not even a hint of a program.
Now the government is simply adding to this with the new NAFTA, which raises the cost of drugs a second time, again without compensation.
When will the government keep its promise and compensate Quebec for the agreements it signs?
