Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Prime Minister.
The question of private health care clinics in Alberta has been discussed in the House for over a year. Clearly these clinics, which charge both the patient and the government, are part of a two-tier system. The Prime Minister has said he would not allow this.
As the Prime Minister was a part of the government that formulated the Canada Health Act when it came into being, could he say, because apparently the department can still not decide, whether these clinics contravene the Canada Health Act, as he understands it?
