Mr. Speaker, what the member has just said is very misleading and I am very disappointed.
First, the government needs to get it straight. Cancer is not a chronic disease. In the vast majority of cases it is a deadly disease. Second, the cancer community from all jurisdictions has said that this strategy needs to be fully funded and implemented.
The member in French suggested that they were still trying to work on it. No, it is already done. It has been in a document put together for over three years.
The member has refused to commit to fully funding and implementing the strategy and it is a disgrace. The government should be ashamed of itself. Will the government fund the strategy, yes or no?
