Madam Speaker, I am happy to answer this question and I thank the member for asking it.
There is no other industry that is more tied to government spending than the pharmaceutical industry. It is 100% driven by the government pouring money into it. The fact is that they put huge, bold letters on the bottles of pharmaceuticals to show how much these items cost so that the consumer knows what the cost is. That is how they drive down the costs of these things.
Government spending on specific things traditionally raises the price of them and drives inflation, and there is no better example than in the pharmaceutical industry.
