Thank you Madam Chair.
I was talking about the new motion moved by Dan Mazier. I do want to spend some time on this motion, because I think paragraph (i) of the motion carries more weight than it might initially appear. The more closely I review it, the more concerns I have.
Let me be clear. Our government supports transparency. That has been consistent, and it has guided the work of Health Canada and organizations like Canada Health Infoway, but transparency needs to be approached carefully. It must be balanced with privacy considerations, legal responsibilities and the integrity of the system Canadians depend on every day.
In my view, this motion does not strike the balance, Madam Chair.
