Sure. This is not untypical of the sorts of things that the federal government takes on, whether it's in large quantities of money through the Canada health transfer or through smaller projects. Obviously, the federal government plays a role in various aspects of health care.
What we're specifically speaking about here is what emanated from the practice community of MAID. That led to the creation of the Canadian Association of MAID Assessors and Providers. They were the ones, through the interaction with their communities, who said that we need to regularize practice, and a good way to do that is through an accredited training program.
I will also note that across the board in the health care system, specialist training is accredited by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons. The expectation here is that MAID training would be accredited through that same system. It would be up to individual provinces and territories to decide whether or not to make this training and this accreditation mandatory for a provider in order to practice MAID in that province.
As well, a lot of these things work through collaboration among national bodies and provincial bodies and the provincial regulatory bodies for physicians and nurse practitioners. They too would be part of this discussion, but this is a normal kind of approach.
