You're talking about the intent to develop a schedule of fees that patients would be charged, or I would say the owners of clinics would be allowed to impose on patients for certain services delivered in clinics.
At the moment our understanding is the legislation has been passed. A schedule of permissible fees is being developed. Up to this point, that fee schedule has not been published. An effective date, in our understanding, is possibly in late spring. In the May to June period, that schedule would be published, and the regulations would be in effect that would allow providers to levy these fees for services in a particular facility; that is, in clinics.
Of course it hasn't happened yet, so nobody has been charged anything. We certainly would say that is a fairly direct challenge to the Canada Health Act.. Interestingly, as we understand the arrangements, some of those same services if provided in a hospital would be provided to patients without any fee being imposed. This would be a fee that would be charged in particular settings where these services would be delivered.
