Exactly.
It has to be evidence-based. There has to be clinical....
For Canadians who might be watching our committee, this is already in place. If you're going into a private lab, or if your doctor has asked you to get a lab test done, or if you're going into a private diagnostic, there are already mechanisms in place in every province for that lab or that diagnostic centre to bill the province. As a Canadian, you don't pay when you go in for those services. We're broadening that out to include pharmacies, but the structures in the billing processes are already in place in every ministry. Some of those labs and tests are not insured, and then you pay for it yourself, but most are insured. There is a choice, then, that the consumer has: pay for something a bit different or to stay in the publicly-funded plan.
How do we pay, after we've decided what drugs are in the formulary? I saw you came up with some suggestions around potential income tax changes, corporate taxes. Forty per cent to fifty per cent of Canadians right now are insured by private plans through their employer. Would it make sense to you that those costs would be recovered through some kind of corporate tax? This way it wouldn't cost the employer any more, and we could use those funds to publicly administrate the plan.
