Mr. Speaker, the Canadian Medical Association today validated the concerns we in the NDP have been raising repeatedly in the House about the government's trade agenda. It agrees with us that under NAFTA and GATS, Alberta's bill 11 on private hospitals will allow international trade tribunals to intrude in our health policies. It agrees that action is needed now because there is no retreat from liberalizing a sector of trade. If we open the door now, we cannot go back.
Will the trade minister now agree to act with urgency to protect Canada's health care system in all its trade deals, or is the minister saying the CMA is wrong?
