PBO estimates Pharmacare cost

The Parliamentary Budget Officer estimates the cost for pharmacare at $1.88 billion over 5 years. This is more than what's budgeted - but pharmacare advocates say this increase is less than 0.1% of overall government spending.

The Trans Mountain pipeline we just finished cost 34 billion. I don’t hear anyone complaining.
