Mr. Speaker, the big difference between the Liberal Party and the Reform Party is that we support the principles of the Canada Health Act. We say no to American style medicine and no to user fees.
I humbly stand today in this House of Commons, the same House of Commons that voted unanimously to make the Canada Health Act a reality in this country. I stand proudly as the member of parliament for Thornhill, but also as an individual who has watched this nation build an internationally acclaimed medicare system for all of us. I have watched the growing pains. I have watched it falter. But together, with this budget and with the support of all Canadians, we can assure that Canadian style medicare will be there for future generations.
