I'm not sure I'm the person who's best placed to answer how the provincial and federal governments should work. I don't think I am qualified to answer that question.
All I can tell you is that the Canadian Forces veterans need this because they get their prescriptions, for example, through their military doctor. On the day they leave, they get their baggie with three months' worth of that prescription for whatever their medical condition is. If it's a complex medication, to get that refilled, you can't go to a walk-in clinic. You can't go to the ER. How that can be done is the thing to be figured out.
I'm sorry. I'm not qualified to answer the heart of your question.
