Mr. Speaker, I ask the hon. member, if it is a bad deal, why on the CBC radio news today did Clay Serby, the Saskatchewan health minister, say “this has never been a political issue. We should not be making it a political issue?” Mr. Serby went on to say “Now you have political parties today who want to try to make hay politically on this irrespective of who they are. I worry about that”.
Serby says “The package was put together by health ministers from all political parties”. He says “They managed to put aside their political differences and the opposition parties should do the same, including the federal wing of the NDP”. This should be something listened to by members of the Reform Party because it makes sense contrary to their position.
