Madam Speaker, my question for the member relates to the topic of pharmacare, which came up in the Speech from the Throne. We know that many Canadians are making the difficult choice between taking their medications or paying for other necessities of life, like rent, food or the other things they need to survive.
Could the member comment on how important it is that we move forward with a pharmacare plan and what impact it will have on middle-class and lower-income Canadians?
