In some cases, like CFI, it's 40-40-20: 40% from the provinces, 40% from the federal government, and 20% from the institution. In other cases, like the research hospital fund, the provinces chose not to match that. In that case, the hospitals had to find the entire 60% match. So matching can be part of the equation, absolutely. But I think the federal government can play the key role of not getting into the health delivery side, which is provincial, but in the health innovation side, which allows us to actually, in the long run, give better health care cheaper, faster, and more effectively.
