Mr. Speaker, so yes, she is admitting accessibility is being violated and that these lines are getting shorter because people are going to the States, not because the health care system is getting any better.
The health minister should open her eyes and take a good look at the health care system. If she did she would see these massive reductions in hospital closures and Canadians buying American waiting list insurance to stay alive. This is ridiculous.
What specific action does she plan to take to reduce the waiting lists to ensure Canadians are getting the most advanced, the most effective and the most timely medical attention available?
