Corrective to Oct. 7 story on pharmacare costs

OTTAWA — In an Oct. 7 story, The Canadian Press erroneously reported that the parliamentary budget officer estimates that an essential medicines drug plan would cost an additional $10 billion in 2024-25 and $12.1 billion in 2027-28.

In fact, that plan would cost $10 billion less than status-quo public drug expenditures in 2024 and $12.1 billion less in 2027-28.
