Our government is dedicated to advancing healthcare for all Canadians.

We are proud to announce the introduction of Pharmacare legislation, a significant step forward in providing better healthcare accessibility and affordability.

This legislation lays the foundations for bilateral agreements with provinces and territories that will ensure universal, single-payer coverage for crucial contraception and diabetes medications. It means 9 million women and gender-diverse Canadians will gain access to contraception, and 3.7 million Canadians with diabetes will receive vital medication and support.

No Canadian should have to choose between their health and financial stability. With Pharmacare, we're delivering on our promise to provide essential medications to every Canadian, regardless of income.

Together with our bilateral health agreements and the Canadian Dental Care Plan, Pharmacare signifies our commitment to better healthcare for all Canadians.
