Mr. Speaker, in an appearance before the finance committee a very credible witness said: “Continuing cuts to health care across the country have been dramatic and Canadians are paying the price. The medicare patchwork is becoming threadbare”. Canadians queuing up for operations and laid off nurses agree with her.
If the government will not listen to waiting patients, if it will not listen to laid-off nurses, if it will not listen to the Reform Party, will it at least listen to one of its own, the wife of a deputy prime minister, and move quickly to restore much needed health transfer payments?
