My own personal belief, and I guess it's my professional belief, is that we have to have a pan-Canadian federal approach in health care. I live and work in Saskatchewan. Anybody from there has that in their blood. They know that the medicare that we experienced was only phase 1, and that if we don't deal with prevention, promotion, and the holistic approach to health, we're never going to be able to deal with the challenges that our impoverished population, our aboriginal, first nations, and Inuit population experience.
