“The public should be aware of the powerful interests throwing huge
sums of money at the campaign to stop pharmacare,” said Linda Silas,
President of the Canadian Federation of Nurses Unions (CFNU). “Big
decisions will be made this year on prescription drug coverage. It’s
crucial that the Canadian government stay laser-focused on the delivery
of public pharmacare for everyone and avoid the temptation of cozying up
to wealthy interests.”
