Mr. Speaker, I asked the minister a very direct question. There is an opportunity available today for the minister, by supporting our amendment, to implement the process whereby he could regularly table an assessment of how well medicare is working.
Why would he not rise today and say that he would support this amendment? Clearly Liberals at the convention shared NDP concerns about what is happening to our health care system. This is an opportunity for the minister to show some leadership and some consensus building on how to deal with this issue. Will he accept the amendment?
