Mr. McBane, you said, “The annex II reservation does not shield the health care sector from the full force of trade agreements.” You went on to say that, “In order to provide maximum protection for health services and to safeguard its ability to expand coverage of public health insurance, a new exemption for health services is required.”
Can you expand on that for us? Specifically, I want to know your opinion. Are you concerned that something in CETA may prevent the future expansion of Canadian medicare, for instance the national pharmacare program or dental care, or some other expansion?
