I think it goes back to having real federal leadership to begin with. I see negotiations around a national pharmacare program, the same type of negotiations that we had when we brought in medicare. Not all the provinces were happy about it; not all the provinces saw a need for it. They were quite happy with what they had in their little area, but I think when you're talking about the national good, you should be able to sit down and come up with some kind of national agreement that will benefit the majority of Canadians with the same intent as medicare did.
