Mr. Speaker, it is clear that the minister does not support the five principles of the Canada Health Act.
Not only is the minister not taking clear action against the bill to privatize health care in Alberta but today, in Montreal, patients must pay $400 an hour to get on the operating table.
What we are looking at in Canada today is private health care.
Does the minister not realize that his failure to take action is having a terrible impact on citizens who are entitled to a universal health care system?
