Mr. Speaker, we definitely need to listen to workers' representatives because this will have direct impacts.
Take, for example, a person who works part time in a grocery store three days a week and who has to pay for supplementary health insurance. Given the unaffordable and out-of-control cost of medication, we end up meeting people who have to spend 25% to 30% of their pay on supplementary insurance through their employer. That is not sustainable.
If we want to help these people, we need a true public, universal pharmacare plan.
