Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Health.
The minister continues to adhere to the myth that if medicare ain't broke don't fix it. Yet it is broken and there is a growing chorus from across Canada that wants a change to fix it. This chorus includes provincial governments and ministers of health from across Canada, including British Columbia and Quebec. This chorus includes health care workers, including doctors and nurses and the public whose very lives may be at risk.
To date the minister has introduced only two pieces of legislation in the last two years in Ottawa. Will the minister be introducing any legislation to address this growing need, in fact the demand for change?
