Mr. Speaker, in a study submitted to the Romanow commission, researchers from Queen's University stated that Ottawa's involvement would only further split up the health sector. They added that the provinces realize that the system is not truly integrated and they are trying to improve the situation. Introducing a new player into the system would, the researchers feel, only make the situation more difficult.
Could the Minister of Health give us a commitment that there is no way that the federal government will interfere with the management of health care?
