Mr. Speaker, the NDP invented medicare. Now we are inventing pharmacare.
The vast majority of Canadians believe pharmacare should be a seamless extension of our existing health care system. Everybody who has studied this issue has come to the same conclusion, yet we just learned the Liberals plan to adopt a patchwork, fill-the-gaps approach. Funny, that is exactly what the drug and insurance companies want.
Instead of caving in to corporate interests, why will the Liberals not stand up for lower costs and better coverage for Canadians?
