Madam Speaker, in previous speeches from the throne, I remember seeing the Liberals talk a lot about putting in national pharmacare and making a reference to dental care.
In this throne speech, these topics are nowhere to be found. It is like they never even existed. The member is right, and the cost of living is also a huge subject of concern among my constituents in my riding. Unexpected medical costs, the cost of pharmaceuticals and the cost of dental care are huge issues for working families in Cowichan—Malahat—Langford.
What does the member think about the fact that the Liberals used to talk so eloquently about these programs, and they are nowhere to be found in this 2021 version?
