Mr. Speaker, the Minister of Health likes to speak in very general terms about the Canada Health Act, but we would like to get down to specifics.
Alberta's eye clinics are now charging fees for enhanced services, which amounts to queue jumping. Clinics in Montreal are charging patient fees of $400 per hour for the use of operating theatres.
We want to know why the minister is not taking action in these cases. Does he deny they are happening, or is it because he believes they are consistent with the Canada Health Act?
