Prescription drugs play an important role in improving the quality of health care, but access and affordability are not ensured. This forum will look at three issues in particular: 1) the creation of a national pharmacare program; 2) the rising cost of drugs; and 3) streamlining the regulatory approval process for new drugs. Six local experts will briefly comment on these questions to initiate the debate, inviting audience participation afterwards. Part of a Canada-wide series of fora on health care held by the Royal Commission. Please note that panel discussion will take place principally in French; however, the audience is welcome to comment in either English or French. Seating is limited to 150 persons
