Mr. Speaker, Loblaw and Manulife insurance teamed up to limit the coverage of 260 medications for Canadians, more profits for them and less coverage for Canadians. When they tried to do it, we fought back and they walked back the decision. However, the Prime Minister has an opportunity now to end this once and for all by bringing in pharmacare. This is something the Prime Minister has promised and he has broken that promise. The Liberals had promised this and failed for 30 years. Therefore, the Prime Minister has a choice. Will he choose to stop working for big pharma, yes or no?

Mr. Speaker, the Liberals keep on choosing big pharma and Canadians keep paying the price. The Liberals are slinging mud about Loblaws, but they are very well connected too. They have met with Loblaws 60 times in the past two years, and they have received thousands of dollars from the Sobey family. They have the power to lower prices but they are not doing it. When will the Liberals stop governing for the Sobeys and the Westons?
