Can't speak for all provinces but some of the equipment & supplies listed in some of the above kits require a medical directive to use in Ontario for non family members (ie: casualties found on roadside or disaster scene's).
-Although changes to using "publically accessible AED's" allow anyone to use them, if you own it you need training & a medical directive . Not easy to get if you just want to carry it for possible use.
-Most med's listed above also require a medical directive to supply. Assist them with their own med's = OK. Supply med's = No.
Just went through this recently with the flood evacuations from northern Ontario. Although I hold a medical directive to use the St. John Ambulance AED's, special medical directives were issued by a MD at the District Health Unit to cover the supply of certain over the counter drugs. If their was no medical directive for the over the counter drug you were not covered to supply.
