Mr. Speaker, my colleague asked a question of the leader of the NDP a few moments ago. He tried to do it twice and did not get an answer, so I would like to try again.
The NDP government in B.C. wants to protect medicare, as I believe every individual in the House wants to do. It has recently experimented with private practice procedures relating to cataract surgery and minor surgical procedures. They have reduced the waiting lines for those two procedures in a relatively short time. This is an innovation and it involves doing exactly what bill 11 attempts to do, reduce waiting lines in Alberta. The NDP government is making innovations in exactly the same way.
Would the member comment about B.C.'s attempt to reduce waiting lines by doing exactly what bill 11 is trying to do?
