Mr. Speaker, I thank the member from the Progressive Conservative Party for his comments.
He made reference to the many people in the province of Ontario who have had to go to Cleveland to seek some kind of medical care. I take it from his comments that he condemned that and he thinks that is a bad thing. I concur with him on that. I remind him that it was the NDP health minister who refused to allow that company to move into Ontario.
This is a non-partisan issue, an issue that goes to the heart of what Canadians believe the health care system should be. We have learned many things from different experiments in different provinces in the past.
Is the member as equally offended by the fact that in the province of Ontario not for profit organizations like the Victorian Order of Nurses have been driven out of the health care service system so that private companies can contract that service from the government? I would like him to comment on that practice in the province of Ontario.
