Mr. Speaker, I have not been at all shy in expressing this government's position that bill 11 will not help solve the problems we face in medicare. It will lengthen, not shorten, waiting lists. It will increase, not reduce, costs.
It is a draft bill. Last week the premier was talking about possible amendments. Is the member prepared to assure the House, is the Government of Alberta prepared to assure the House that it will not make further amendments?
The bill may be amended. We have not yet seen the regulations. At the appropriate time we will express our position with respect to the Canada Health Act.
