Mr. Speaker, I have one further supplementary question.
The minister's answer leaves Canadians wondering what it would take to convince the government that health care financing and the Canada Health Act need to be reformed. How many more hospitals have to be closed down? How much longer do the waiting lines have to become? How many more Canadians have to go to the United States for health care?
How much further does the health care system have to deteriorate before the government will agree to reform the Canada Health Act and the financing of health care in Canada?
