Mr. Speaker, it is with great pleasure that I rise today to celebrate the passing of the Pharmacare Act, which will have an immense impact on the lives of Canadians and Newfoundlanders and Labradorians.
Every Conservative member of the House voted against the historic pharmacare legislation at every step. They voted against legislation that will help nine million women and gender-diverse Canadians access universal, single-pay contraceptives. Canadians have made it clear they do not want slogans; they want a government that will put their health first, including their reproductive rights, and make lasting impacts to the Canadian health care system. It is our Liberal government that is delivering just that.
