Mr. Speaker, yes, it was an exciting day. Pharmacare is now law in Canada. This means that 3.5 million Canadians will now have access to diabetes medications. It means that nine million women can have access to contraceptives. We know that the Conservatives are always against public health care systems, so they voted against this, but what is really disappointing is that the NDP ripped up the agreement, in their own words, that is actually delivering progress. They have chosen politics over progress. They are no different from the Conservatives. We will stand up for Canadians every single time.
In the House of Commons on October 11th, 2024. See this statement in context.
