Mr. Speaker, I had an opportunity to ask the member from Vancouver what he thought of a private facility in Vancouver. Let me take the opportunity to ask the member from Nova Scotia what he thinks of the Wolfville hospital in Nova Scotia. That hospital was threatened with closure and the Wolfville citizens said, “You are not closing down our hospital”.
Here is what they did. They said they would disregard some of the rules and regulations and charge people for some things such as syringes when they go to emergency. That is against the Canada Health Act according to the rules. That is a user fee. However, the people of Wolfville said their hospital was more important than some rules.
What does the member from Nova Scotia say to the citizens of Wolfville who valued their hospital more than the rules?
