Mr. Speaker, health is covered by legislation. The five major conditions governing health care in Canada-universality, portability and the rest-are in the act. There is a clear commitment by this Parliament with respect to maintaining these five principles.
As for their implementation, discussions are under way between the Minister of Health and her counterparts. We are looking for the best solutions. If services are to be accessible to all Canadians, when Canadians travel across the country, whether on vacation or business, they must be able to rely on the same services in other provinces as in their own. Everyone agrees that Canada's health system is one of the best in the world. We must ensure that it remains that way as much as possible.
