Mr. Speaker, last evening I stood with Friends of Medicare on the steps of the Alberta legislature. I stood together with people who believe that Canadians should receive health care when they need it, regardless of their financial circumstances or where they happen to live.
Sadly, the Prime Minister was not there, the Minister of Health was not there and the Minister of Justice was not there. No representative of the government was there.
There is no disgrace in standing together with Friends of Medicare. Why was the health minister not there?
