Don Davies NDP Vancouver Kingsway, BC

I don't want to put the analysts on the spot, but can they give us some information about where the responsibility for indigenous health falls now, from a departmental point of view?

5:15 p.m.

Marlisa Tiedemann Committee Researcher

I haven't seen anything on the government website in terms of a specific announcement, but in media reports they did say the FNIHB, the first nations and Inuit health branch, has been transferred from Health Canada to the new ministry.

Can I have a show of hands for all those in favour of Mr. Davies' motion?

With that, I am going to conclude our meeting, unless there is other business.

Then for our next study, I would move that we go to the next topic on this list, which is home care.

The Chair Liberal Bill Casey

Would you like to move a motion?

Marilyn Gladu Conservative Sarnia—Lambton, ON

I would like to move a motion that our next study be on home care, the next item on our list.

The Chair Liberal Bill Casey

Mr. Davies.

5:15 p.m.

NDP

Don Davies NDP Vancouver Kingsway, BC

We should probably bring the motion up, because I think it was community care and home care, the issue of delivering more services into the community setting, and that transition from the acute care hospital to the community. I believe that motion was more than just home care. I don't know if we can pull up the motion for clarity in terms of what we're voting on.

5:15 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Bill Casey

The motion was “To undertake a study on home care and palliative care and to report the findings to the House”.

5:15 p.m.

Conservative

Marilyn Gladu Conservative Sarnia—Lambton, ON

That sounds marvellous. I so move.

5:15 p.m.

Liberal

The Chair Liberal Bill Casey

Is there any debate on this motion?

Dr. Eyolfson.

5:15 p.m.

I move that the debate be adjourned.
