Canada Labour Code  Madam Speaker, I thank my esteemed colleague. I completely agree with him, except for one thing. The rest of Canada is in dire need of pharmacare. If there is a problem with the money between the province and the federal government, we have to figure that out. I do not want to,

Canada Labour Code  Madam Speaker, to my friend from Vancouver East, absolutely, 18 months is too long. It makes no sense. Let us get that fixed in committee.
