Mr. Speaker, to date the Canada Health Act has been extremely flexible in allowing for change within different provinces. To say that the system is broken is to exaggerate. I would rather say that the system needs changing. Technology is with us. I am working with the provinces and I will continue to work with them.
I think that the Canada Health Act, which works well for Canadians, should stay in place and continue to protect the rights of Canadians to first class medical care, regardless of whether or not they can afford to pay extra.
