I actually think he will make it happen, though I'm not sure of all the provinces signing on.
I wonder if this is the right time to be trying to implement an expensive program like this given the other spending the government has been doing from COVID. OR if it's the perfect time because there's so much money going out the door people aren't going to care if more is. Or if the feds and provinces even have the will to implement such a program right now given the other COVID concerns on their plate. Also, it's been 2 years since the Lib gov has passed a budget.
If such a program is implemented I would think taxes would have to go up somewhere to pay for it, especially since people and businesses are going to be saving lots of money from not having to pay for meds anymore.
