Continuing in the fine (recent) tradition of physicians editing a newsletter that historically has mostly been about current affairs and politics, I am delighted to take the rein from Luke Pike (Newfoundland & St. John’s 2007) with this, my first issue of the CARS newsletter as editor. We have an all-new CARS Executive as well, and have spent the last half year getting to know each other and locating the bylaws in various basements and shoeboxes around the country (see our President’s letter for more details). My sincere thanks to Mark Schaan (Prairies and New 2002) for his leadership as President over these past few years and to Katie Sheehan (Prairies and Merton 2002) for her guidance in putting together this newsletter. You will note that Steve Aylward describes this process as ‘cat-herding’; as a proud born-and-raised Albertan I would prefer ‘cattle-herding’ or something to that effect, but the metaphor is ultimately the same.

  • NDP Response - Canadian Paediatric Society (CPS)
    NDP Response - Canadian Paediatric Society (CPS) Establishing Child-Friendly Pharmacare 1. What will your party do to ensure that all children and youth have equitable access to safe, effective and affordable prescription drugs? An NDP government will implement a comprehensive, public universal pharmacare system so that every Canadian, including children, has access to the medication they need at no cost. 2. What measures will your party take to ensure that Canada has a national drug formulary and compounding registry that is appropriate for the unique needs of paediatric patients? An NDP government would ensure that decisions over what drugs to cover in the national formulary would be made by an arm’s-length body that would negotiate with drug companies. This would ensure that the needs of Canadians – from paediatric to geriatric – are considered. The NDP will work with paediatricians, health professionals, and other stakeholders to ensure that the formulary meets the needs of Canadians and that children and youth have access to effective and safe medication that will work for them. 3. How will your party strengthen Canada’s regulatory system to increase the availability and accessibility of safe paediatric medications and child- friendly formulations? The best way to increase the availability and accessibility of safe paediatric medications and child-friendly formulations is by establishing a comprehensive, national public pharmacare system because it gives Canada the strongest negotiating power with pharmaceutical companies. An NDP government will work with patients, caregivers, health professionals, and pharmaceutical companies to ensure that the best interest of Canadians will not continue to be adversely impacted by the long-awaited need for universal pharmacare.
