One thing intrigued me, and that's the fact that the department appears to offer a private insurance plan to the Canadian Forces as a whole. Every member is insured by Blue Cross in the event the military clinic is not available. From what I read in my notes, it costs approximately $66 million a year, whereas the total cost of health services is $500 million a year.
Do you think this practice should be somewhat restricted, or do you think it's normal? Obviously, we'd need clinics open 24 hours a day, and that's not always possible. So when these people are sick, they're sent to receive care at locations that are under provincial jurisdiction. They use their insurance in those cases. I'd like to hear your comments on that subject.
