Thank you, Madam Chair.
I'd like to thank the member for her motion, but I don't think it is a necessary motion. In fact, I want to assure the member that the government supports the Canada Health Act and the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and we have made significant progress on this front.
We have put in $1 billion in regard to the patient wait times guarantee. That includes $612 million for the patient wait times guarantee trust, $400 million for Infoway technology, and another $30 million for pilot projects. That's in addition to the $41 billion invested over 10 years to strengthen our health care system. The 2004 health accord included $5.5 billion for wait time reductions.
We have seen significant progress.
