Yes, but this is so enjoyable.
Mr. Munter, you are a health care manager. Today we are considering a bill that supposedly pertains to dental care and that will have two effects. First, it will give parents a benefit of a fixed amount, regardless of the amount spent on dental care. Secondly, in exchange for the benefit received, the parents will have to fill out some Canada Revenue Agency forms and be audited. Meanwhile, Quebec has a universal system whereby a parent takes their child to the dentist, the child receives dental care, and the parent leaves the dentist's office with a bill of zero dollars.
Do you think that could be considered as a type of insurance? In terms of effectiveness, is it reasonable to give parents $650 for a cleaning that costs $50, rather than reallocating that money to actual care, and asking parents to fill out Canada Revenue Agency forms, or improving the existing programs in the provinces that are effective?
