Mr. Speaker, the health minister has rejected the standing committee's recommendations to establish a national registry for organ transplants. The minister's office said it did not have time to fully explore the financial implications of such a proposal. That is not unusual for the minister when it comes to setting up registries. His gun registry is already 300% over budget.
Can the minister tell us whether the $275 million his government has spent on a gun registry would have been better spent on an organ donor registry that would actually save lives?
