Madam Speaker, I would like to start off by saying the Liberals were not passionate about pharmacare when, three and a half years ago, they stood in the House and voted down the NDP's bill on the Canadian pharmacare act. They voted with the Conservatives. It was the evil coalition of Liberals and Conservatives, a corporate coalition, voting down pharmacare.
I am glad that three and a half years later we have put in place the rudiments of pharmacare. It is going to help people with diabetes and contraception, but yes, absolutely, we need to move beyond that to all classes of drugs. This is a no-brainer. It would save $4 billion for Canadians and save hundreds of lives every year.
I am hoping the Liberals have changed their heart from their previous mistakes and that they actually become passionate about what the NDP has brought to this country. Will the Conservatives cut it and scrap it? Absolutely. I would not trust anything in the hands of the member for Carleton. After 20 years, he has accomplished nothing.
