Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Health.
Unfortunately, over the last week's recess in Alberta the premier of Alberta has not had a change of mind and bill 11 is set to go forward. When I last asked the minister about this he said that the government was studying the implications for NAFTA.
Can the minister report on what is the federal government's judgment with respect to the NAFTA implications of bill 11? What is it going to do about it? Time is even more of the essence. Will the minister be going to Edmonton tonight to the rally sponsored by the Friends of Medicare to indicate what the government intends to do to stop Premier Klein from putting medicare for all Canadians at risk through NAFTA?
