Adjournment Proceedings

An adjournment debate on the national pharmacare program for free diabetes medicine and birth control. Gord Johns of the NDP said the government promised this program to all Canadians but only four provinces and territories have signed deals so far, and he pressed the government to negotiate with the remaining provinces, noting some are ready to sign and that the program would save families and provinces money. Parliamentary Secretary Maggie Chi replied that the agreements are already helping people, including in British Columbia, and said the pace depends on the budget, drug supply considerations, and negotiations with the provinces. She said the government is investing in health care and will continue working to expand access.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
