I think it's important. We heard today about the for-profit health care and mental health care straight from CMHA. We need to force the CEOs of these for-profit companies that are literally trying to replace the Canada medicare system with a cash-for-care model, and they need to come to Ottawa and explain their plans. That's the goal of this motion. We're seeing doctors and nurses in our hospitals being poached by private facilities. These are doctors and nurses we need to help with the toxic drug crisis and the mental health crisis. They're also impacting our hospital operating rooms, which are sitting empty. Emergency rooms are overrun and understaffed. These for-profit corporations are already starting to bill people. The message that families are getting right now is to pay up or wait at the back of the line. I believe that Canadians, and certainly the NDP, believe in free public universal health care. We believe that people and their families deserve the best care no matter how much is in their bank account. CEOs like that of Loblaws need to come to tell Canadians why they're working to ruin that. We need some answers.
