Mr. Speaker, yesterday the Minister of Health contended that Quebec was the primary source of the problems in the health care system.
Quebec is far from the only province facing problems. In Manitoba, the sick are having to seek treatment in mobile hospitals in the United States. In Newfoundland, the military is having to fly in to help out with an overload of emergency cases. There are any number of examples throughout Canada.
Is the minister so tuned out and so insensitive he cannot see that the federal government's $6 billion in cuts have threatened the health care system not only in Quebec but in every province in Canada?
