This week Pharmacare legislation was introduced on Parliament Hill. The historic program was announced after months of negotiations with the NDP, who pressed the government to launch Pharmacare as a condition of their supply-and-confidence agreement. On Wednesday, Lorraine Chisholm spoke with Nikolas Barry Shaw, a key campaigner on this issue, in advance of the legislation being tabled the following day. Nikolas Barry-Shaw is the Trade and Privatization Campaigner for the Council of Canadians and author of the book Paved with Good Intentions.
