Mr. Speaker, as Minister of Health, I have said that the Canada Health Act is unquestionably here to stay, and the Prime Minister of Canada has said the same. We will preserve the fundamental principles of the health care system. The promise was made in the red book, which forms the basis of our party's mandate. We will continue to do exactly what we said we would do.
