There's one example, and it's actually one of the examples that's cited in the report this year. I'll just connect my comment here to something that I touched on in my remarks which is that the objective here is not to impose penalties. The objective is to try to bring the respective provincial health insurance programs into alignment with the Canada Health Act.
We know in British Columbia, because it's the subject of an ongoing dialogue with that province, that one could make an estimate of charges that are being levied on patients that exceed the amount of our deduction, which I think I identified is something in the range of a quarter of a million dollars. The deduction we made is based on the actual documented extra billing and user charges that we know have been levied in British Columbia. Could we, via process of extrapolation based on other evidence, audit reports, and so on, come to the conclusion that in fact the amount is higher than that? Yes, we probably could, and we may in fact come to that decision at some point. Right now we are working with the province and officials in the medical services plan in B.C. to see if we can't find some other solution.
I'll just say that this gets complicated because a number of the people in British Columbia, as patients who accept patient charges, willingly do so because they think it's a benefit to them to jump the queue and get what they believe will be faster access to care.
