Mr. Speaker, the hon. member will know that hospitals are run and services are delivered by the provincial governments. I urge her to take up her complaints with the appropriate provincial Minister of Health.
Speaking more broadly, let me observe that there are really two ways to ruin medicare in this country. One way is to follow the Reform path, repeal the Canada Health Act and bring in the American private insurers. That will do it. The other way is to follow the advice of the NDP and bankrupt the country so we cannot afford health services.
We prefer to take a balanced approach and to preserve medicare for now and into the future.
