Mr. Speaker, I am familiar with that example. The member for Macleod will discover, if he looks a little more closely, that under those circumstances they are not permitted to charge for enhanced services at the same time that they are charging for insured services. They do not talk about overnight stays. The policy is not to create private for profit hospitals. There is room for innovation in Canadian medicare but there is a line that should not be crossed. Imperilling the principles of the Canada Health Act is something that ought not to be encouraged.
What is described in B.C. is not what bill 11 has provided for. Bill 11 expressly says that the private for profit facilities can charge for the enhanced services as well as the insured services. That is the crucial distinction between Alberta and the example that the Canadian Alliance is referring to in British Columbia.
