I don't see how it would be more of a benefit to the pharmacist. There is perhaps some confusion on this. To date, there have been no discussions on service costs or on reimbursing the pharmacist’s service costs; discussions have always revolved around what got paid and what didn’t, payment delays, in short all the terms and conditions of the agreement. Clearly, we don’t want to deal with third parties because they are not the ones that make those decisions. It is the insurer, CIC in this case.
Pharmacists don’t have a contractual link with Medavie Blue Cross. In all the agreements in Quebec, contracts are with the insurance companies. The only link between the pharmacist and the third party, Medavie Blue Cross in this case, is a direct deposit form for bank transfers. There is no other agreement between the intermediary and the pharmacist. So we clearly don’t want to go down that path because it is not the way things are managed in Quebec. The system is already set up for all the other federal departments, so we don't see why it wouldn't be possible to reach an agreement with CIC very quickly. I believe the possibility is there. There is some resistance, and we don’t really understand why.
