Mr. Speaker, my question today is for the Minister of Health. Yesterday the Prime Minister acknowledged that there are serious problems in Canada's health care system, but in the same breath he refused to consider the most obvious measures to help our health care system to survive.
My question for the health minister is this. If the federal government cannot maintain its financial support of health care, and if it will not amend the Canada Health Act to allow the provinces more flexibility in paying for health care, how then does the minister propose to solve the problem of financing health care in Canada?
