That's the problem. As I understood it, this was a three-year trust fund that was set up. The governments could draw upon it to start implementing vaccine programs for chicken pox vaccine, for meningitis vaccine, for pneumococcal pneumonia vaccine, and for the new pertussis vaccine. They were able to draw upon it in proportion to population. Before that program was set up by the former Prime Minister and the former Minister of Public Health, we had provinces like Alberta, where all these vaccines were available to all children, and provinces and territories that were less able to afford these programs, with competing other priorities, so we ended up with kids who had different access.
