Mr. Speaker, the clinics that the member refers to comply with the Canada Health Act because this government took action to make sure they did. The government has also shown its commitment to health care in Canada through the budget last year. It has significantly increased the transfers to the provinces. It said at that time that it would do more when circumstances permitted.
It will take more than money to make sure that we fix what is wrong with medicare. That is why I have invited provincial health ministers to join me at the table to plan changes that will make a difference over the long term. I expect they will.
