The future of the NDP's supply-and-confidence deal with the Liberals could hinge on competing proposals for pharmacare legislation the parties exchanged over the weekend, NDP health critic Don Davies said Tuesday.
"Up to now, they've not wanted to commit to single-payer," Davies said. "Of course, we've drawn a red line in the sand that we have to build on that system." "If they break the agreement, they walk away from the agreement, there is nothing that they can expect from us then," he said. "We will negotiate every vote at a time."Davies said he has been communicating daily with Health Minister Mark Holland through email and text messages.
"We're prepared to start incrementally. You know, one of the proposals was to start with essential medicines," he said.
