Clearly, the Conservatives are filibustering. They don't want to have a vote on this motion. They don't want to study the increasing privatization of health care. Why is that?
They know very well that the Canadian public does not agree with this. You see one survey after another asking Canadians what it is to be a Canadian. What's the most important thing that distinguishes us as Canadians? Invariably, it comes down to two things: hockey and our public health care system.
I think the vast majority of people don't believe in the privatization of health care. I think the Conservatives' filibustering clearly indicates the fact that they don't want to talk about this, because they don't want to publicly show their support for the privatization of health care since they know it is not a winning issue among the Canadian public. That's why they're filibustering.
With that said, I see there are a bunch of Conservative speakers afterwards.
I move to adjourn the meeting.
(Motion agreed to)
