Media Availability/CLC President Hassan Yussuff available for comment on Pharmacare Advisory Council


OTTAWA, June 20, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Canadian Labour Congress President Hassan Yussuff will be available to comment following today’s government press conference announcing the composition of the Advisory Council on the Implementation of National Pharmacare.

At noon today, Health Minister Ginette Petitpas Taylor and Advisory Council Chair Eric Hoskins are expected to reveal the team the government has assembled to develop a plan to implement a national pharmacare program.

In fall 2017, the CLC launched a national campaign, called “Pharmacare: A Plan for Everyone”, followed by a cross-country tour to highlight the failures of Canada’s inefficient patchwork system of prescription drug coverage that leaves 3.5 million people unable to afford to fill their prescriptions.
