Mr. Speaker, I thank the hon. member opposite for the question. I cannot speak for Premier Tobin in terms of what he may or may not want. What I can do is speak on behalf of the government.
When it comes to health care for Canadians we have over the past number of years worked out a very strong partnership among the federal, provincial and territorial governments to ensure quality care for Canadians wherever they may live in Canada. That is precisely what Canadians want. They want us to work in this kind of partnership to ensure that a health care system is in place for themselves and their families.
