“The Prime Minister supports public services. Ontario covers medicine for seniors, but people across Canada still struggle to afford their prescriptions. Our work on a national drug plan is not finished. No one should have to cut pills in half to save money.”
“Madam Speaker, the Prime Minister has spoken passionately about his commitment to ensuring that Canadians have access to the critical public services they need. In my home province of Ontario, luckily there are not seniors cutting pills in half, because all seniors are covered by the provincial public drug plan. However, it is true that there are people across the country who continue to struggle with the cost of their prescription medications. The work toward pharmacare is not complete, and I certainly continue to believe that no one in the country should be cutting pills in half because they cannot afford them.”
