We certainly recommend that we go up to the highest standard rather than down to the lowest. Right now, all things considered, it would probably be the standard in British Columbia. We're recommending that no Canadian should have to spend more than 3% of their net income on drugs, which would make it equal to the standard in B.C.
I acknowledge that the Liberals had this in their platform, and every other major federal party also promised to do it, but nobody has yet. The provincial ministers of health recently asked the federal government to step forward, acknowledge that they have a role to play, and meet with them. So the first step is for the federal government to admit something must be done here to ensure universal access.
Today, if you need drugs and live in Prince Edward Island, they'll cost you roughly $6,500; in B.C. they're free. That's not universal health care.
