Mr. Speaker, I congratulate the member for his motion today. I think it is timely and worthy of debate.
The member mentioned that his party is not in favour of a two tier system. Everyone heard him say that. My question relates to the leadership of his party, the CA, formerly known as the Reform Party. That party has one candidate vying for its leadership who actually launched his campaign on the basis of a two tier system of health care.
Is the hon. member suggesting that this candidate is out of the race and he will not win it? Where does this fit in? How can the member stand in his place and suggest that his party does not stand for that when one of the potential leaders of his party is actually campaigning on that very issue?
I think it is presumptuous of the member to think that his party does not stand for that. The leadership race is not over. We will not know until June 24 who will win the race. Is he not pre-empting his potential leader?
