Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the hon. member for the question. The subject matter has received some public attention in the last number of weeks.
I wish to share with the House that, since we issued the blueprint in November 1995, there have been over 2,300 different submissions from Canadians from different regions of the country.
We are in the process of examining our proposals as they relate to the charter to make sure that we are not back in court as we were on a previous occasion with the legislation. When we do come
forward, we will have comprehensive legislation that will address the needs, not only of the health groups across the country but the young people of this country as well.
