Hypothetically, it's possible that provinces and territories would see this as a way to skirt the line. The reality is that we're already seeing across the board a lot of instances where they're turning a blind eye or are explicitly allowing practices outside of the Canada Health Act. It's possible, I would say, because it's already happening. I would like to think that provinces and territories are exploring those options because they feel like they don't have any other choices. If there's a way to provide added incentives to come back within the Canada Health Act, then hopefully that's a good thing.
