Health committee  Thank you.

Health committee  An interesting precedent is in a place with far better weather than our own, the Caribbean. The Caribbean nations buy a lot of their drugs together because each of them is tiny. They pool their purchasing power and negotiate for the best possible price. What our provinces have do

Health committee  Sure. I'll send it to the clerk by email.

Health committee  You're right. There are many difference between the Quebec system and the Ontario system. For example, in Quebec, drugs are covered by public insurance, but not in Ontario. That is the clearest difference between the two systems. However, it is not a safe assumption—I'm not say

Health committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. I agree with very nearly everything that Professor Ryder just said, so I don't want to be repetitive. He did a great job. You are putting both of us, however, in a somewhat difficult position, because we're asked to say whether pharmacare would be constitu

Justice committee  He can have an A-plus. Is he prepared to come and teach at the University of Ottawa?

Justice committee  Yes. There would be a question—a very interesting question of law, and I don't actually know this off the top of my head—about whether the legal standards used in the country where you were acquitted were comparable enough to Canadian legal standards that the acquittal would stan

Justice committee  I don't feel qualified to single out exactly what legal provisions are needed for aboriginal women, per se. I hope you have another—

Justice committee  On domestic, I mentioned in my main testimony that the difficulty is that in these busts, too often handcuffs do go on the victim. Timea is saying it's getting better—it is getting better—but to take her own statistics, she said that 60% to 65% of the time that doesn't happen. W
