Coordinating 10 provinces and 3 territories negotiations to adopt national standards, parameters and to absorb some of the cost in their budgets takes time and willing participants. Public pressure has to be immense. We have 5 provinces toying with private healthcare.

Even if feds imposed legislation, there’s this thing called the NOTWITHSTANDING CLAUSE.
