Poilievre said that he would have also asked for an additional $4 billion for damage to the federal health care system by participating as a complainant in a class action lawsuit already launched by British Columbia. Apart from this, they would separately launch another lawsuit at the federal level and claim to recover non-health costs such as border security, prisons, indigenous programming, etc.

“Large pharmaceutical companies owe $44-45 billion to federal taxpayers and we will spend that money on recovery as well as treatment,” Poilievre said.

According to the province, BC filed a class action lawsuit in 2018 against major pharmaceutical companies on behalf of the federal, provincial and territorial governments, under which claims were made for manufacturing, distributing and recovering drugs from their consulting companies.

It filed the lawsuit against Purdue Canada, which is part of the American pharmaceutical company Purdue Pharma, which is known for making the drug oxycontin.

The BC government had also made 40 of its producers and sellers as parties in its class action lawsuit and had also slapped a case against them. In June 2022, BC settled with Purdue Canada for $150 million. But the provincial government wants to hold the other parties accountable as well.

Doctors in the US are discussing this practice of changing the time every year. Doctors say that daylight saving time in Canada started on March 12, 2023 and to end on November 5, 2023. Doctors also say that daylight saving time increases the chances of getting a heart attack or other heart diseases.

Sleep specialists and health experts say that with the increase in daylight saving time, the light also increases and it makes it difficult for people to sleep and it also adds to many other issues.

The American Academy for Sleep Medicine (AASM) touched upon the issue of the exercise, which is held twice a year. The academy said that this increases heart-related problems as well as mood disorders and increases accidents.

Recently, ASAM and the American Medical Association said that it is in everyone’s interest to stick to the standard time. It is worth mentioning that a bill was passed in Ontario in 2020 that daylight saving time should last forever, but there was no general opinion on this.

Last year, the US Senate unanimously voted in favor of permanently adopting daylight saving time, but the bill was not passed in the House of Representatives.

The bill was introduced by senators once again last week. If the bill is passed in both the Senate and the House, the changed time on this weekend will be the last changed time in the US. After this, Canadian provinces will also be able to bring such a law.
