Maybe to respond quickly from the perspective of the Canadian Health Coalition, there is an essential statutory duty on the part of the federal government, and if the current government doesn't believe in that, then maybe they're in the wrong job.
We have an election coming, and if they think health care is exclusively provincial and that Canadians don't want national standards, that Quebeckers don't want health care when they move to British Columbia, and vice versa, then that should part of the election debate.
I think we are at an impasse. We don't have real accountability. This committee has been shot down, in terms of examining the accountability standard in the Canada Health Act annual report, which is totally inadequate, according to the Auditor General.
I think most Canadians want to know where their money is going, so I think we have to keep at it and demand higher standards of accountability.
