Mr. Speaker, the minister is watching on the ground all right. He is on the ground with Ralph Klein's foot on his neck, doing whatever he pleases with the federal government standing by doing nothing while this happens to medicare.
We have made all kinds of suggestions. One suggestion we have made is that the federal government restore its full share of medicare funding. If it had done that we never would have had this problem. Do not dare to stand up here and tell us that we have not made suggestions.
The minister did not say a word about NAFTA in his statement. Can he tell us today when we will get the federal government's opinion on why it thinks this has no NAFTA implications?
