Mr. Speaker, my understanding is that Canadians have been protected by the Canada Health Act.
Yes, there are pressures from time to time in different areas. However, the Canada Health Act ensures that these pressures are addressed by the individual provinces. When we see long waiting lists, provinces move in very quickly and public opinion forces them into doing what is right, ensuring that the needs of their citizens are met in a good manner without people having to pay to get to the head of the line.
