It was certainly an issue in the 1960s. My father was a physician, and I think physicians were very conflicted about the benefits or the harms as Canadian medicare was being rolled out.
An important difference then, sir, was that each province had its own plan. There was no national health care. Still today there is no national health care. Each province has its own system, and if back in the 1960s we had said we would have a national system, it would be a lot easier today to have a national pharmacare system, because we wouldn't have the patchwork of provincial systems the same way we have patchworks of physician systems and everything else from province to province. They are not the same from province to province.
