Mr. Speaker, there is an overwhelming amount of support in all regions of the country to have some form of pharmacare program, something that has been at the top of the public agenda for the last four or five years. When I address this issue a bit later, I will hopefully get the chance to clearly demonstrate why it has been getting the attention it has been given in the last four or five years.
Does the member not believe that we need to have negotiations with the provinces in order to maximize the benefits of a national pharmacare program for all Canadians?
