Yes, Madam Chair.
Since the regulations will be structured around those who validate a potential recipient's eligibility—meaning, provincial and territorial health partners—a non-Canadian could, in theory, receive the medal. However, the donation would have to have been made within the Canadian health system.
Therefore, a donation that did not take place in Canada and that did not involve a Canadian would not be eligible, since the Canadian organizations responsible for validating recipient eligibility would not be able to conduct the necessary checks.
