The legislative session continues this week, with afternoon and evening sittings on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, and an afternoon sitting on Thursday. Several Bills will be discussed, including one that, if passed, will rescind the Province’s ability to throw out its master agreement with doctors.
The Standing Committee on Public Accounts will meet from 8:00 am to 10:00 am on Tuesday. On the agenda is the Ministry of Children’s Services Annual Report 2021-22.
The Province is importing five million bottles of children’s pain and fever medication. As soon as the import is approved by Health Canada, Tylenol and Advil will be on the way in an attempt to combat the months-long shortages. Health Minister Jason Copping says the price at which pharmacists will be able to procure the medication is conducive to sales at the average retail cost.
