Right. I want to explore each one of those.
In terms of agreement, I'm told that in 2004, at the meeting of the Council of the Federation in Niagara-on-the-Lake, the premiers unanimously agreed to transfer responsibility for pharmacare to the federal government. and there was also unanimous agreement that Quebec would be able to opt out of that plan with compensation.
I'm unclear about that. Is that a contractual agreement or is that an agreement by the provinces to upload jurisdiction to the federal government? Is either of you familiar with that?
