I've seen it three times now.
Thank you for having me.
It's been a joy here as well.
Well, I actually don't think there's much of a controversy, but it's important that people know about this.
And there are some veterinarians that are complaining about it, and I'm not on their side, David.
I'm on the side of the pet owner.
Ooh.
I know.
So this story has actually been ongoing back and forth.
It occasionally pokes its head for the last decade.
And it's about how you can get...
pet prescriptions from places other than your veterinarian.
And Ontario pharmacies like regular human pharmacies are catering to pet owners more and more.
So I'm able to write a prescription.
to any sort of human pharmacy, and Fluffy Cooper, Tomato Cooper needs his- Tomato Keg.
Tomato Keg, needs his dermatitis medication, and I can write those prescriptions.
And the pharmacists are saying this can reduce costs.
Absolutely, they can buy in bulk,
Their overhead's a lot lower, so they're able to still make a profit and sell some of these medications that are much cheaper, especially if they're also human medications, which a lot of dog and cat medications are human medications as well or vice versa.
Yes.
