Certainly I've heard many positive comments about how this government's looking at the whole perspective of the challenges in Vancouver's east side and across Canada. So I think we're definitely on the right track there.
To change gears a little bit, Minister....
It's unfortunate that the opposition members are heckling. I wish they would respect our ability to ask questions to the minister.
Many provincial governments have undertaken sustainability reviews and other publicly funded health care plans in the past year. The governments of British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia have all concluded their reviews. With British Columbia announcing new legislation, the B.C. legislation seeks to enshrine the five principles of the Canada Health Act and add another principle: sustainability.
I wonder, Minister, if you could give us a perspective on the Government of Canada's plans for the Canada Health Act and how we are supporting the provinces to ensure that Canada Health Act goals are being achieved.
