I have written to federal Minister Aglukkaq and to Minister Raitt. It is my contention that this problem has been created by the federal government and that the federal government should fix it. Absolutely, there should be compensation.
I want to stress that compensation is not for the province. It is for hospitals and diagnostic facilities that are unfairly strapped, and ultimately it would be patients who would suffer because of procedures that would not be funded as a result of funding shortfalls.
