Mr. Speaker, no Canadian should be forced to make an impossible choice between medication and food.
That is why, in one generation, we have done more than any other government to reduce the price of medications. We have taken action and will continue to take action. We are in discussions with the provinces and territories with a view to implementing pharmacare based on the principles found in the Hoskins report.
We are working to reduce expenses for families with a strategy for drugs to treat rare diseases.
We are setting up the Canadian drug agency. We will continue to reduce the cost of medications for all Canadians.
