Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Congratulations for doing this. In my opinion, this is a very elegant solution to a problem. There have been some suggestions that there be more consent, and this sort of thing, put in on this. Having worked in the medical system, I know different portions of it. They worry about mission creep. When they say that there is some portion of it.... I'll give you an example. It's sometimes thought that because the emergency department is always open and it's always there, you could also use it as a central area for people to come and get their immunizations. It's not an emergency, but it's always open, so you can always do it.
They want to make sure that's not adding to the workload for doing something that's not part of their mandate.
Would you not agree that adding all these extra things—asking for the consent and all these things that are normally done by the province—would add to mission creep, whereas simply sending this to the provinces, which is what you have here, would avoid that? Would that make sense?
