Health committee  Well, take a look at northern Canada. We were at a conference looking at the framework and the medical officer from Nunavut said, “We take down how many HIV cases we have on the end of a paper at the end of our desk.” If you look at the Quebec model, you will see that they don't

Health committee  In the generic formulary in Quebec, it is about $237 for PrEP or ARVs.

Health committee  Per month. But we have to also include the copay that people have to pay on that, which could be prohibitive depending on your revenue. The name brand is about $879 a month.

Health committee  In reality, I think it's both.

Health committee  Everybody has access to get them. It's just that you have to be aware of your status. You have to also have access to those meds and able to afford the copay and so on and so forth. I can't give you a statistic. I could tell you the broader statistic of how many people living w
