Mr. Speaker, Canadians want more than expressions of grave concern from the health minister. He insults the seniors who stood on the steps of the Alberta legislature in the bitter cold to fight for medicare. He makes a mockery of Canadians' passion for medicare. He denies that it is his inaction that has put medicare at risk.
Will the health minister take some responsibility for this fiasco? Will the health minister do the one thing that remains to him to do, the honourable thing, and tender his resignation?
