Mr. Speaker, the premier of Alberta is not respecting the five principles of medicare now and he is not being penalized.
How can the Prime Minister pretend that the universal, not for profit, public health care system is healthy? Tell that to patients who are forced to pay $4,000 for routine eye surgery. Tell that to patients who are paying $400 an hour to get access to operating rooms for essential surgery.
Is that the government's idea of a public, not for profit, universal health care system?
