If you look at it the other way around, it is actually the province of the transplant hospital. A public bank, such as Héma-Québec's, supplies the cord blood. The hospital doing the transplant is responsible for the costs; it is the one that has to pay the bill. So if a hospital in Vancouver is performing the transplant, the British Columbia government is responsible for assuming the costs of that cord blood, regardless of where it comes from.
