TAKE ACTION NOW:

 

On Thursday, October 28th the committee will start debating possible
amendments to Bill C-393, legislation to reform Canada's Access to Medicines
Regime (CAMR), including those proposed by big pharma aimed at gutting the
key features of the bill.  

 

We have learned that there is a plan in the works aimed at killing Bill
C-393 on a procedural technicality if and when it goes back to the House of
Commons. 

 

We have identified a group of target MPs that need to know Canadians care
about Bill C-393 and CAMR reform.  Please phone or email the MPs outlined
below and let them know that you support CAMR reform, and that you expect
them to ensure that Bill C-393 will be properly debated and considered on
its merits by the House of Commons. Let them know that it would be
unacceptable for them to allow a minor procedural technicality to derail
this important initiative to make CAMR finally work.

  

An easy telephone script and letter-writing guide can be found in the full
call to action here:
