Anytime someone brings up concerns around population, immigration, or birth rates in an adult conversation about increasing access to prescription contraception, it is a massive red flag 🚩

Zero Pharmacare agreements have been signed since took office. With the first phase of the national Pharmacare plan (Bill C-64) promising free prescription contraception and diabetes medication and supplies, this policy could be transformative.

Unfortunately, the Carney government has flip flopped on whether or not they will pursue additional agreements, and has indicated that they may allow the program to end when current funding expires in 2029.

This is absolutely unacceptable and a betrayal of Canadians, who were promised a national plan. Instead, Canadian's ability to access life-saving and life-changing medicine now depends on their incomes and their postal codes.

We need actual leadership on Pharmacare. We need a federal government that is actively negotiating agreements with outstanding jurisdictions, and is committed to not only funding these agreements moving forward, but actively working to expand pharmacare beyond free diabetes medication and supplies and prescription contraception.
