Mr. Speaker, a woman I met in Fort St. James worked for 25 years at the saw mill. She told me that when she was laid off, she lost all her benefits. Now she cannot afford the drugs she needs for her arthritis.
Like the one in five Canadians who cannot afford medication, she has been left behind by the government.
The NDP is ready with a plan to make universal, public, single-payer pharmacare a reality and save Canadians and our health system billions.
Will the minister support our plan for pharmacare?
