Thank you. This type of legislation actually originated in Florida and there was success enjoyed in Florida with respect to state-funded medical care. In Canada, the province of British Columbia was the first jurisdiction to pass this legislation. They passed three iterations of it and went to the Supreme Court of Canada three times before they finally had a version, upon which all of the other legislation is modelled, that was considered constitutional.

British Columbia is, to my understanding, quite near going to trial, but they haven’t gotten to trial yet. So I guess the short answer is no, there’s no precedent in Canada. However, we’re very near to getting a precedent established.
