NDP leader Jagmeet Singh is asking Premier Cochrane to back his party's national pharmacare plan.

In a series of letters sent on Thursday to each of CanadaSA国际影视传媒檚 premiers, Singh aimed to secure the provincial and territorial support needed to push the program forward. 

The policy would halt drug price increases, and SA国际影视传媒渇ree up significant room in future provincial health budgets,SA国际影视传媒� the letter states.

In December, when Cochrane attended her first ministerSA国际影视传媒檚 meeting she appeared open to the plan, but left room to support other jurisdiction aiming to opt-out.

At that meeting, other premiers expressed interest in more healthcare funding, as opposed to the drug plan, a version of which has also been proposed by the Liberal Party.

Cochrane, meanwhile, was receptive to any federal assistance on the table. 

SA国际影视传媒淲e need whatever resources we can get within the Northwest Territories. ISA国际影视传媒檓 open to whatever package theySA国际影视传媒檙e willing to give us,SA国际影视传媒�  she said at the time. 

Northern News Services has requested comment from the PremierSA国际影视传媒檚 office.
