Mr. Speaker, hard working Canadians who live by the rules, who pay their taxes, gave us a very strong message during the last election. They believe in the health care system as it is governed by the Canada Health Act. That is our mandate and we will maintain it. There is a role for the national government.
I would like to take this opportunity to tell all Canadians that there is someone here, there is a government, that will make sure they get health care not based on the size of their pocketbooks but based on the fact that they are sick.
