Mr. Speaker, perhaps the Deputy Prime Minister could tell us then whether that means that in his view bill 11 violates the Canada Health Act and sanctions on the part of the federal government will be forthcoming. Could he be clear about that? Time is of the essence with respect to the possible NAFTA implications. Has the federal government, whether in the department of justice or trade or health, or somewhere, arrived at a point of view with respect to the NAFTA implications of bill 11? Albertans and all Canadians deserve to know this before the bill is passed.
In the House of Commons on May 4th, 2000. See this statement in context.
