Mr. Speaker, the House will know that one of the leadership candidates for the Canadian Alliance is proposing two tier health. It strikes me that may very well be the reason why the Canadian Alliance's web page on health initiatives is blank at this date. It is waiting to find out which leader's policy it will have to follow.
I say that facetiously, but the member for Red Deer talked about how money is not enough and maybe we need new initiatives. The House leader for the Canadian Alliance said—maybe unintentionally but he should clarify it—that we need new initiatives and new ways to do things.
One of the things that he suggested was that maybe we needed incentives for Canadians to save so that they will be able to take care of their own health care needs in the future. That is what he said, and he might want to check the blues. That to me signals, whether it is specific or implied, that a two tiered health strategy for the Canadian Alliance actually is a possibility, that it thinks that somehow if we can get more money into the hands of Canadians they will be able to take care of their own health. As far as I can see, that is a total abandonment of a public health care system.
I would like to ask the member whether or not he clearly supports a publicly funded health care system to the exclusion of any alternatives, including two tier health care.
