Could it be done? If the government said there's $5 million or $10 million or $50 million and wanted you to specifically gather all the data you could possibly get and do modelling to tell us whether or not universal pharmacare would save Canada money...because there's different opinions. I've heard Ms. Hoffman's opinion, but we're also going to hear in this committee from other experts who will be adamant that adopting other systems will save us money in the long run. The only way to really anticipate that, I would imagine, is to get as accurate data as we can and model different things. At least it would give us a better idea. Could that be done?
