Mr. Speaker, the Markham meeting will shape health care in Canada for a long time to come.
The provinces say that we need federal money. The federal government says that we need a plan. Why will this government not admit that we need both? We need a plan to restore health care funding. We need a plan to transform health care for the 21st century based on the commitment to a not for profit, public, single tier system.
When Canadians so desperately need both, why has the government provided neither?
