Poilievre says no to 'radical' pharmacare plan during House of Commons debate

Poilievre said the 'Liberal-NDP agenda' would force people to give up their 'private drug plan with the hope and the promise that one day you might get a government plan'

OTTAWA – Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre said his party rejects the proposed national pharmacare plan, arguing it would force Canadians to give up their own private drug plans.

In the House of Commons Tuesday, as he debated a non-confidence motion in the Liberal government, Poilievre said the pharmacare plan was something he would not accept.

“I will reject the radical plan for an “single-payer” drug plan,” he said.
