Mr. Speaker, the hon. member might explain why his colleague the member for Esquimalt—Juan de Fuca, a leadership candidate for the alliance, has said that a two tier health system will strengthen the public system, not erode it. Why would the leadership candidate Tom Long say, “We are going to have to find a way to involve the private sector”? Why does the candidate Stockwell Day advocate user fees?
Instead of asking us questions about things we are already doing, adding to and strengthening a public accessible medicare system, why does the alliance not get together and explain why its different candidates are going around, each in their own way, proposing measures which will destroy medicare in this country?
