Mr. Speaker, we heard a great deal from the Liberal member about plans by the government to enforce the Canada Health Act. This is of course used as an excuse for its inaction on bill 11.
My question for the member is quite simple. All the enforcement officers in the world will not mean anything if there is nothing left to enforce. A million medicare cops will not do anything if the bill and the consequences under NAFTA are allowed to proceed.
Can the member not see the importance today of amending the Canada Health Act to ensure that there is absolutely no possibility of private for profit hospitals being allowed to be included as part of our health care system?
