Mr. Speaker, when it comes to health care reform the only advice the government seems to be willing to listen to is to raise taxes. That is rather curious.
The Romanow commission is making noises about raising the GST. The Kirby commission wants to either raise income taxes, the GST or bring in a new dedicated health tax. However both commissions seem to be working long nights to help the Minister of Finance get down from the Peace Tower so he does not have to jump.
What is the government's prescription for health care that will rule out raising taxes?
