Mr. Speaker, nobody should have to choose between paying for medication and buying groceries to put food on the table and in the cupboard.
We will keep working with the provinces to reduce the cost of medication across the country. We have already made great strides, reducing drug costs by about $13 billion. We will continue to work closely with the provinces, while respecting their jurisdiction, to deliver a pharmacare system that costs Canadians less, so they can afford the medications they need.
