I would probably fundamentally disagree with you. I'm sorry. I think we currently have a very bad approach to decision-making about funding of technologies at the provincial level. Allowing provinces or mandating provinces to provide pharmaceuticals on a wider basis to all Canadians as part of the Canada Health Act will in some way ensure what I think is inequitable coverage of individuals and will not address the fundamental issue, which is that we're prescribing too many expensive drugs that are unnecessary and that are causing a lack of health benefit to be accumulated by Canadians when there could have been more sensible and rational decision-making regarding what to fund and what not to fund across the whole health care system.
