Mr. Lothar Dueck: The issue of shortage just means the demand exceeds the supply. As a pharmacist looking after Manitobans and Canadians, we feel it is a serious challenge to our health care system that these drugs are being diverted. We don't have the answer to that. We see the problem. We get solicitations. And because of the nature of the business, we have to pay a lot higher salaries for our pharmacists. Some pharmacies are getting into that business to supplement their expenses so that they can afford to keep on serving Canadians, Manitobans in particular.
