Mr. Speaker, the member talked about, what she coined, our two-tier health care system. As far as I am aware, the federal government deals with health through the Canada Health Act, which has the five principles of our health system: universality, accessibility, portability, publicly funded and comprehensive.
As far as I am aware, and I am very sure of my facts, Canada has a health system which serves all Canadians and it has nothing to do with how much money one has.
Would the member please clarify for this House exactly what she meant by a two-tier health care system in Canada? While I understand that anybody can travel to any other country to purchase health care, in Canada that is not the case. Could the member please clarify her statement?
