But this week, sources say the government members of the oversight group that monitors the deal warned the New Democrats that pharmacare is unlikely to happen in the next few months — a clear sign that there will be no new spending in the budget. The last thing the Liberals want — or can afford — is for the NDP to reach the conclusion that they are being duped and that the Trudeau government has no intention of investing upward of $15 billion in a universal, single-payer national drug formulary.But for anyone who has looked at the issue, it would be reasonable to conclude the Liberal commitment in the deal is not worth the paper it was written on.
But Justin Trudeau is not a man satisfied by incremental gains; his initial political campaign launch theme was inspired by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s mantra: “Dream no small dreams for they have no power to move the hearts of men.” Government officials say their impression is that the NDP is actually quite happy with the deal so far. Quite why that might be is unclear.
Unable to spend its way out of trouble, this Liberal government looks bereft. In its early years, Trudeau was on a moral crusade to transform Canada into a more egalitarian country by government fiat at the taxpayers’ expense.Article content
