Mr. Speaker, Canada's aboriginal people have been held in captive poverty for decades, robbed of their culture, robbed of their families, robbed of their economical opportunities.
The most recent budget failed to provide sufficient dollars for aboriginal housing and health care. If that was not bad enough, now they face the danger of private health care because of this health minister's failure to take on Ralph Klein.
What is this minister afraid of? If the minister truly supports universal health care, why does he not tell Ralph Klein today that Bill 11 must go and why does he not put sufficient dollars into our health care system?
