Mr. Speaker, I reject absolutely the preamble to the member's question.
This party and this government stand firmly behind the principles of the Canada Health Act, unlike that party which has been calling for not only two tier, but American style medicine for a very long time. We will never allow that to happen. We will never amend the Canada Health Act as they propose. We will ensure that when the people of Canada need health services that the provinces have the resources they need to enable them to deliver those services.
