Pharmacare

During question period on pharmacare, the NDP said the Prime Minister had promised to sign agreements with provinces and territories to cover medicine but none had been signed, and asked whether the government would fund medicine for all Canadians as promised. The government said it remains committed to working with provinces and territories on health care and that programs in Prince Edward Island were scheduled to end rather than being cut, adding it would keep working with the province. A Conservative point of order raised an unrelated matter about a minister taking a photo of another member during statements.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .

“The finance minister took a photo of another member on his phone. This breaks House rules. I want you to tell him to delete it.”
Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, on a point of order, during Statements by Members, I could not help but notice that the Minister of Finance took a photograph on his phone of the Secretary of State for Rural Development, which as you and the minister should know is very much against the rules of this House. I am hoping you could direct the deletion of that photo.
