Progress on pharmacare is one of the conditions of the confidence-and-supply agreement the NDP entered with the Liberals last year
OTTAWA — Health Minister Jean-Yves Duclos says the government's plans for pharmacare are moving forward, but experts who study government drug plans suggest the Liberals may have lost the political will to take bold steps toward a national program.
Duclos said in no uncertain terms that progress on the file will continue — but that progress is likely to be incremental. "With the pandemic, everything was put on hold, and basically, they never got back to this issue of a national prescription drug plan, even if they have all the tools," Gagnon said.
At the same time, overall spending on drugs — between governments, insurance companies and Canadians — would be expected to drop by $4.4 billion as a result of better purchasing power.
