Mr. Speaker, I have a great deal of respect for the member for Mississauga West, as well. However, he and I were not in that room. We did not hear what the Minister of Health put on the table. We did not hear the discussion that took place between the provincial and territorial ministers of health and the federal Minister of Health.
I would be very surprised if they were not told by the federal Minister of Health “This is the deal and this is the only deal that the federal government is going to enter into, and there will be no one compensated unless you enter into my deal”. That is how I see the minister.
As far as I am concerned, it was wrong. If the premier of Ontario had enough compassion to stand up and say “What I have signed is wrong”, then I have to say he becomes the tallest premier there is in all of Canada.
