>> Dear CAMR reform supporters,

>> Thank you! Over the last two weeks, 500 Canadians have sent their Bill
>> C-398 letters to the House of Commons, calling on MPs to fix Canada’s

>>
>> As we get closer to MPs voting to keep or kill the bill on November 28 ,

>> Chers les partisans du RCAM,
>>
>> Merci! Depuis deux semaines, 500 Canadien-nes ont envoyé des lettres
>> concernant le Projet de loi C-398 à la Chambre des communes, exhortant les
>> député-es à rectifier le Régime canadien d’accès aux médicaments (RCAM).
>> Des membres de tous les partis ont manifesté leur appui et déposé des
>> pétitions en notre nom au Parlement, mais il nous faut encore plus
>> d’appuis, puisque le gouvernement continue de s’y opposer et que plusieurs
>> député-es entendent des faussetés flagrantes quant aux réformes proposées
>> par le projet de loi.
>>
>> À l’approche du vote des députés pour appuyer ou rejeter le projet de
>> loi, le 28 novembre , nous vous demandons de nous aider à cibler notre
>> plaidoyer. Si nous n’obtenons pas suffisamment d’appuis lors du vote du 28
>> novembre, le Projet de loi C-398 pour rendre le RCAM efficace mourra.
