I have a point of order, please, Madam Chairperson.
I would like to take a moment to present a motion and give notice as of today, so that it can be considered sometime after the 48-hour period. I have copies in two languages.
I move that the Standing Committee on Health call on the government to strengthen its monitoring and analytical capacity regarding enforcement of the Canada Health Act in order to better identify challenges facing public health care, including excessive wait times for diagnostics and treatment, the high cost of prescription drugs to individuals in the health care system, and the impacts of increased privatization; and that the Minister of Health appear before the health committee within 30 days following the publication of his department's Canada Health Act annual report to indicate what proactive measures his government will be undertaking to ensure that Canadians' rights under the act are fully protected and strongly enforced in light of the current challenges to Canadians' public health care system.
