Dig deep you socialist of the north.
"look at every angle" for new methods to recover monies owed by those who have skipped out on paying.
Not so sure they skipped out at all. I went to a clinic in Moncton, eastern Canada a few years ago. They patched me up and just said "no charge" when I offered to pay since I wasn't Canadian. I think they're so used to not charging in some areas they don't have the personnel to do processing of payments and in big government style just said "don't bother". They get paid regardless so why bother. Government freebees at your service.
