Mr. Speaker, I thank the minister for his commitment to social medicine in Canada. Unfortunately I think he discredits himself when he acts like the problems have not arisen from the serious cuts made by this government.
What plans does he have for dealing with access in remote areas such at the north and Yukon? The fact that people have to travel thousands of miles to obtain treatment such as dialysis means complete isolation from families. It is a serious problem for isolated areas, which means most of the country.
