Okay, thank you. I just wanted to clarify that. Thank you very much.
My next question here goes to the CMA.
Dr. Forbes, I read through the pre-budget submission that you submitted earlier, and in it your organization had two pharmacare recommendations. The first was that the private health insurance industry participate in the work of a pan-Canadian pharmaceutical alliance, because they cover the majority of working-age Canadians, of course. The second was to create a national catastrophic drug coverage plan for all Canadians.
You estimate that the cost of the catastrophic drug coverage plan would be about $1.7 billion. My question is, why did you not recommend an all-out pharmacare program right off the bat? Why are you going towards a more incremental approach rather than an immediate pharmacare program that would cover the whole nation?
