National pharmacare funding would mean free birth control medication and devices for NLers

Update: 2024-09-26

Description

Some local groups are calling on the province to commit to signing up for national pharmacare funding, which would mean free birth control medication and devices for Newfoundlanders and Labradorians. Yvonne Earle is with the province's Avalon chapter of the Council of Canadians, and they're one of the organizations involved in today's rally at the Confederation Building, urging Premier Andrew Furey to sign up for national pharmacare funding. She joined us in studio to talk about it.
