Thank you.
My Liberal colleague brought up the issue of nursing agencies in Canada. I think we all know that, if we allow private nursing agencies to divert nurses from the public system, it costs our system more and it will extend wait-lists for the public system, so it's no answer. I'm just wondering about the federal role in that.
Should the federal government withhold transfer payments to the provinces to discourage that practice? Do you see some role for the federal government to ensure that we have a strong public system in this country?
