Mr. Speaker, what will it take to get the Prime Minister to admit to the real mess his government has left our health care system in?
Under the proposed social union the provinces may withdraw from Canada-wide programs with compensation. Canadians fear that this could lead to some provincial governments opting out of medicare altogether. Ontario is already threatening to do that.
Will the Prime Minister promise today that the government will enter into a social union agreement only if the important principles of medicare are fully protected?
