Mr. Speaker, my question pertains to the member's comment about wanting a healthy discussion in this place about Bill 11, something which we have tried to do for some time now.
The member will recall that three times in the House we asked the Minister of Health to either table his own legal opinion on Bill 11 or to consider the legal opinions that have been prepared by other groups. The minister has said on three separate occasions “Share those documents with the House”. In response, each and every time we have tried to table the documents we have been denied permission to do so.
I would therefore ask, given the member's comments, if we could have unanimous consent today to table two legal opinions commissioned by the Canadian Union of Public Employees regarding whether bill 11 is in violation of the spirit and letter of the Canada Health Act.
