In case you haven't received this already. There is a link below to listen
to Richard Elliot's reaction to the ruling. He is good!
 I know it is too late this time.....the bill can't be reintroduced until
we have a new parliament. Lets hope for a new parliament with wiser MP's
soon.

All the best,
Margarite

Dear Friends:   ****

We write to you with some disappointing news. As you may already know,
Parliament has decided to reject reason and overwhelming evidence by
defeating Bill C-398, which would have ensured greater access to affordable
medicines for people dying of treatable diseases such as AIDS, malaria and
tuberculosis in developing countries, and potentially save millions of
lives in the process. ****

 ****

Most disappointing is that this was such a narrow defeat - with some MPs
who voting against the bill even after they promised to vote in favour. To
find out how your MP voted, and to reach out by sending a letter, we
strongly encourage you to visit
www.medicinesforall.ca<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=0017-xPdHzhIAG_A_QHlNL2Y5xQGvGAsNiNWSa1GBqznqAMuTDM_Bonolyp4XuVP66W0vFE0IDxfanoCw2XuZRYKzQ7WmWw_1HmWPHsmjQh8XInVzlfZ3Dkd1BDZhzaz-ZV>

*Listen to Executive Director Richard Elliott on CBC's Metro Morning on our
reaction to the news:
**http://bit.ly/113zh6g*<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=0017-xPdHzhIAFmIXbM14UoBpXZE7TlmQ-eW4Xq3FBscZiDrMQZATa1vjJI5vvD6wSZDMBPPjiC6lKpWVH740dd5Mya9Wdp5lCcUqBW4zgSPZg=>
.****

  ****

Bill C-398 would have streamlined ****Canada****'s Access to Medicines
Regime (CAMR) by cutting unnecessary red tape that is proven fatal to the
future use of the system. As you know, a previous iteration of the bill was
overwhelmingly passed in the House of Commons in the last Parliament -
before it died in the Senate with the election call. That bill enjoyed
support from members of all parties in the House of Commons, reaffirming
that this should be a non-partisan issue.****

 ****

The bill would have made it easier for both developing countries and
generic drug manufacturers supplying medicines to use CAMR to help save
lives and reduce suffering. Bill C-398 had the support of medical and legal
experts, humanitarian activists, faith leaders, AIDS and international
development organizations across the country and health activists around
the world. ****

 ****

It is a travesty that this current government, having made much of its
initiative on maternal and child health, would now turn its back on an
opportunity to help people dying of treatable diseases - through a smart
policy that that would have cost no taxpayer money and harness the power of
generic competition to get less expensive medicines to developing
countries. By choosing to believe the blatant lies and misinformation
circulating about this bill, MPs who voted against the bill have reneged on
Parliament's earlier pledge and have betrayed people in developing
countries - including hundreds of thousands of children - who need
medicines to prevent suffering and death, including from AIDS, tuberculosis
and malaria.****

 ****

We wish to thank the many champions of this bill, including our partners
from the Grandmothers Advocacy Network (GRAN) and members from all
political parties, who took Bill C-398 through the legislative process. *The
fight is not over. Too much is at stake.*****

 ****

But the bottom line is this: after more than eight years of waiting for **
Canada** to deliver on its pledge to help get more affordable medicines to *
*Africa** and other developing countries, the world will still have to wait
- and people will die preventable deaths because too many Parliamentarians
did not have the courage to do the right thing.****

 ****

Thanks for your continued support, and we hope to see you soon, ****
