moved:
Motion No. 3
That Bill C-28, in Clause 285.1, be amended by adding after line 13 on page 454 the following:
“(3) Section 15 of the Federal Provincial Fiscal Arrangements Act is amended by adding the following after subsection (3):
(3.1) The Minister of Health shall table in the House of Commons, in September of each year commencing in the year 1998 and ending in the year 2003, a report assessing the adequacy of the cash portion of the total entitlement referred to in subsection (3) to sustain the principles of the Canada Health Act, and where the House of Commons is not sitting in September of that year, the Minister of Health shall table the report in the month in which the House next sits.”
Madam Speaker, I believe you would find unanimous consent for the following amendment to the motion. I move:
That the words “of health” be inserted after the words “the minister” wherever those appear in Motion No. 3 of Bill C-28.
