out? >> Reporter: while many health care advocacy groups are on side, saying a universal pharmacare plan will improve the health of canadians, some said the list of medications set to be covered is too limited. >> For many under and uninsured people living in canada, most of the medications would not be covered by the proposed plan. >> Reporter: another concern, the universal single payer model could disrupt existing private drug coverage. >> We fear that this could crowd out private payers, which currently cover the majority of canadians including one in three seniors. >> Reporter: the government's pharmacare legislation has the ndp support, so it will pass. The question now is when.

The virus has circulated widely among cattle in the united states but has yet to hit humans or animals here. As ctv's kathy le explains, testing has started, and staying ahead of the spread is critical. >> Reporter: the cdc confirms a michigan farm worker is the second person to get infected with the virus tied to dairy cows. That person has recovered from mild symptoms and had pink eye, similar to the dairy farmer from texas who contracted the virus in april. >> That is a current-working hypothesis, that people in dairy farms may be exposed directly to milk rather than aerosols in the air. >> Reporter: currently there are no cases of the virus in humans or cattle in canada. >> We're monitoring the situation very closely, not just in the human population but obviously in the bovine and broader population. >> Reporter: the canadian food inspection agency has confirmed that milk and milk products sold on store shelves are safe because they've been pasteurized. But the supply is being tested as part of the country's effort to expand surveillance on the avian flu. And there is voluntary testing of asymptomatic cows. >> We need to expand, in my opinion, to conducting neurological surveillance. Which means looking for anti-bodies that might suggest a path exposure. >> Reporter: infectious disease experts say the government should also test wastewater. Some canadian researchers are conducting those tests

themselves. >> We would not be able to say if it came from humans or cattles or any other source. But what it does tell us is that it's in the environment, so that can then allow us to begin to take percussions to stop its spread. >> Reporter: while the risk of avian avian influenza infection to humans in canada remains low... >> The concern is it could be more transmissible between mammals. >> Reporter: bird flu has killed nearly half of the 900 people it has infected worldwide over the last two decades. Kathy le, ctv news, calgary. >> Heather: still ahead, changing the way we use sound.

White noise has long been a go-to for drowning out disruptions, and now researchers are learning about a lesser-known colour cousin. Ctv's allison bamford explains. >> Reporter: a common sleep tactic. Thousands using the soothing sounds of static, or white noise, to drown out everything else. >> Most of these applications and programs and devices use continuous sounds. Which are helpful to mask external noises and allow people to sleep better by not being disturbed by other sounds around them. >> Reporter: there's actually a rainbow of sounds that can impact sleep and concentration. Green noise, brown noise, and the latest colour to make waves, pink. >> Sound is made up of waves, much like light. On lower wave lengths of light, we have more red frequency and on higher wavelengths we have more blue and violet frequencies. >> Reporter: research suggests different colours can treat different symptoms. White noise has been used to alleviate a ringing in your ears. In a study out of portland shows both white and pink noise could
