Marc-André Gagnon, a professor of pharmaceutical policy at Carleton University, said right now people aren’t getting the drugs they need and called a single-payer approach to pharmacare “a no-brainer.”Parliamentary Budget Officer Yves Giroux prepares to appear before the Senate Committee on Official Languages, in Ottawa, on Monday, June 13, 2022.

That’s because the report assumes that the implementation of a single-payer universal plan would allow for better price negotiations and lower drug prices.
