Madam Speaker, one of the things to note is that the responsibility for the lockdown measures falls under provincial governments, and yes, I know we are all tired of that. We certainly want to come out of the lockdowns as quickly as possible.
When it comes to the cost of living that so many Canadian families are dealing with, and my colleague from British Columbia did mention how important our health care system is, one of the biggest costs comes with prescription medication and dental care.
I just wonder if the hon. member would lend her support to seeing the federal government play more of an active role in that, so that Canadian families are not hit by those extraordinary costs when it comes to looking after their oral health and their pharmaceutical needs. Will she join with the NDP in pushing for those initiatives so that we can give those struggling working families a break from those kinds of health care costs?
