In its annual report on foreign perils to American rights holders, the office of the U.S. Trade Representative is raising concerns about Canada's plan to recalibrate how it calculates the price of prescription drugs.

Some provinces have addressed the issue — Nova Scotia, for example — but B.C. says it is still working on a solution to help.

"This will help people keep a little more money in their pockets while protecting the drug supply."

The party, which has been promising to table this legislation for some time, says its proposal is based on the principles of the Canada Health Act.

The group is also asking for incremental increases to that figure each year to achieve public access to a full array of pharmaceuticals by 2027.

On pharmacare, protecting the environment and stricter gun control measures, Trudeau spoke generally but offered no specifics.

"The throne speech didn't mention any province specifically," said Rodriguez.

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh says he is looking for a number of specific things including bolder targets for reducing greenhouse-gas emissions as way to fight against climate change.

Only three provinces — British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan — currently provide universal PrEP coverage.

Singh met with Trudeau in Ottawa today to try to leverage his party's position in a minority government.
