From the San Mateo County (CA) Times:
Officials look to Canada for medicine
Bay Area officials embark Monday on a three-day trip to Canada to tour mail-order pharmacies that may supply prescription drugs to Californians.
Alameda County Supervisor Keith Carson, Santa Clara County health officials, representatives of AARP and chief of staff for state Sen. Liz Figueroa, D-Fremont, are among those on the trip.

Figueroa and state Sen. Deborah Ortiz, D-Sacramento, were scheduled to lead the delegation but had to cancel because of the state budget impasse.
