Our 2025 Federal Pre-Budget Consultation submission outlines three key recommendations to help Canada build a more resilient system and a stronger economy through the contributions of pharmacy. 

  • Recommendation 1: That the government leverage the pharmacy sector to ensure Canadians have access to primary care and public health resources 
  • Recommendation 2: That the government protect the security of Canada’s medication supply chain from trade instability
  • Recommendation 3: That the government catalyze economic growth by investing in the viability of Canada’s pharmacies

The pharmacy sector is poised to support the governments goals of creating One Canadian Economy, strengthening our international trading relationships, removing cross-provincial barriers and regulatory red tape preventing effective service delivery, and attracting top healthcare talent.  By investing in pharmacy, the federal government can protect medication access, strengthen our health workforce, and drive local economic growth—while building a smarter, more resilient health care system that is there for every Canadian.
