Mr. Speaker, the fact is that the Liberal government is strongly committed to the establishment and accessibility of health care across the country.
If we actually followed the member's advice and torpedoed the Canada Health Act, the difficult situation that patients are facing now across the country would be exacerbated because what we would end up with would be one system where if people had money they could get the operation and another system for those people with no money. We will not support that system.
