Mr. Speaker, I want to thank my friend from Vancouver Kingsway, the parliamentary leader for the New Democratic Party. I agreed with every single thing he said, right up until when he said the NDP was the only party in this place to stand up for universal pharmacare. We will continue to agree with him that the current Liberal government has abandoned it by not concluding agreements with every province. We are the only country that has universal public health care but does not have complete coverage for prescription drugs.
I would like to ask the hon. member if he would like to expand on and explain how universal pharmacare would bring down health care costs across Canada.
