Prime Minister asks provinces and territories to start cutting deals as soon as possible now that the federal legislation to enact the pharmacare program has become law
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is calling on provinces and territories to start negotiating pharmacare deals as soon as possible, now that the federal legislation to enact the program has become law.
That legislation was central to the now-defunct political pact between the Liberals and the NDP, who pushed hard for the bill to be introduced. On Thursday, NDP health critic Peter Julian pointed out that Canada is the only country with a universal health care system that does not include universal coverage for prescription drugs.
Trudeau said the program will help people who are struggling to pay for prescriptions, and said his government “not only in a woman’s right to choose, we act on it.”
