Mr. Speaker, in his speech the Reform member failed to address the most important message Canadians are sending to Liberals and to Reformers. To use the words from the member's speech, they are saying “Don't you dare bring in user fees into our health care system. Don't you dare take our system any step further toward a two tier, for profit Americanized health care system”.
Yet that is exactly what Reformers did only two weeks ago at their united alternative conference. That is what they voted for. They had a chance to vote for national standards for a health care system but they voted that down. They voted instead to leave the door open for user fees.
The member talks about a united voice for Canadians. How did the member vote on that resolution? Where does his party stand on user fees? When will he join us in preserving medicare and going forward?
