Mr. Speaker, my alliance friend said, “Like the NDP”. This morning we gave him a detailed list of an entire program for renewing our health care system.
I would have expected Canadian Alliance members by now would be somewhere close to the point of putting some flesh on the bones and telling us what they plan to do with our health care system. We are no further ahead today than we were this morning or last week or last month when their leadership candidates talked publicly about creating a parallel private health care system.
I am left with a question. Is the motion today a euphemism for their intent to destroy the health care system? Are they trying to destroy the health care system in order to save it? Is that what they are proposing today?
If we look at the list of suggestions, it is worse than the Liberal government in terms of the studies and reviews they have promised. The solutions are setting up an advisory board, an independent audit, learning about innovations, getting a health care auditor, modernizing the CHA, fixing health care, fixing the brain drain and fixing technologies, with no specifics. Surely by now we should have some details.
When will see some details from them? When will we know the direction in which they intend to take the health care system? While we are at it, could I have a very clear answer from members of the alliance reform party on whether they support bill 11? Yes or no. At least then we might have a good indication from where they are starting.
