All Canadians deserve access to the medications they need.

We have a pharmacare plan that helps those who need it most, keeps costs down and doesn't disrupt existing plans.

All Canadians deserve access to medications without financial barrier.

The majority of Canadians have good prescription drug coverage under our current system, but some still lack it. We can ensure everyone is covered without disrupting existing plans or spending $10+ billion in taxpayer money.

Our Approach to Pharmacare in Canada

Complete the Plan's approach to national pharmacare builds on the existing mix of public and private drug coverage to ensure there is government support for those who need it most – The 3.5-5M Canadians who lack prescription drug plans. We believe a pharmacare plan must follow these four key principles.

Pharmacare Canadians Want

We asked Canadians what they want from a national pharmacare plan. They told us the plan should be focused on ensuring coverage to those without coverage and should not impact the coverage they already have. Why? Because Canadians are overwhelmingly satisfied with their current coverage.
