CPhA Looks Forward to Working with Health Minister to Achieve Mandate
The Canadian Pharmacists Association (CPhA) is pleased to see important and relevant issues to the pharmacy profession take prominence throughout the ministerial mandate letters sent to Ministers on November 13.
In particular, we look forward to working with Minister Philpott who has been asked to engage the provinces and territories around a new Health Accord, which includes improving access to necessary medications and a commitment to new digital health technology. Also included is a commitment to increase vaccination rates, and work with the Minister of Justice on two issues with significant implications for pharmacists – the legalization and regulation of marijuana and responding to the Supreme Court of Canada decision regarding physician-assisted dying.
