My comments are along the same lines.
Normally, we make corrections to a piece of legislation to try to fix a problem. In this case, it is to address the problem of provinces not upholding the principles of the Canada Health Act.
Does the current legislation not say that the government can reduce or keep funds until the province complies with it? Does this really solve a problem or was this already possible previously?
I think that, in English, the legislation states:
“reduced or withheld”.
What problem are we fixing, if we could already withhold funds?
