Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I move, seconded by the honourable Member for Range Lake, that Bill 31, An Act to amend the Pharmacy Act be read for the second time.
This bill amends the Pharmacy Act to add a definition of "unscheduled substance"; allow a person to sell an unscheduled substance from any retail outlet if certain conditions are met; require a person who sells a prescribed unscheduled substance by retail, or who supplies or distributes such a substance, to meet certain conditions when selling, supplying, or distributing the substance; establish regulation making authorities relating to the retail sale, supply, or distribution of prescribed unscheduled substances; allow a pharmacist to dispense a drug under the authority of an electronic prescription if certain conditions are met; change an outdated reference to a schedule of a federal regulation to make the reference current and accurate; and replace, in the English version, gender specific language with gender neutral language. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Thank you, Minister. The motion is in order. To the principle of the bill?
