As previously reported (
here and
here), the Advisory Council on the Implementation of National
Pharmacare (Council) was launched last month and has
invited all Canadians to provide their feedback on national pharmacare to "help shape the
Council's independent report to the Federal Government, to be
presented in spring 2019 ... which will provide the Government with
recommendations and a plan on how to move forward on national
pharmacare." Participants can provide their feedback online
until September 28, 2018, (by questionnaire or through a discussion forum) or in writing to the Council.
