Transcript

00:00:00.000 For decades they've been breaking this promise. The liberals under Justin Trudeau promised
00:00:04.680 Pharmacare themselves in their own campaigns yet continue to break this promise. They say the same
00:00:10.780 thing again again odd jurisdiction it's going to be hard to work with provinces it's going to cost
00:00:14.840 too much. These are excuses that they've been giving for three decades. We're saying enough's
00:00:20.660 enough. It's in what we fought for. We have given the prime minister a deadline, a very firm deadline.
00:00:27.480 He's got to deliver this by the first of March. He's going to stop trying to appease big pharma and
00:00:33.960 big insurance companies and put in place the legal framework that's good for that young boy. That's
00:00:39.820 good for those seniors that I've met to make sure we move forward with a universal coverage for all
00:00:44.400 Canadians so this is no longer a worry. We are fighting for that first big step forward. That's
00:00:50.440 what we're fighting for. That's what the liberals are well aware and I've said to them I've said to
00:00:54.460 Justin Trudeau directly. If they do not follow through on this, if they break their promise
00:00:59.460 yet again to Canadians, there will be consequences.
