Mr. Speaker, it is obvious that the Progressive Conservative Party supports this motion, with one exception. We must support this proposal, but the provinces must be involved according to the principles in the Canada Health Act.
We support the notion that the provinces are the final decision makers of the priorities, as the final arbitrators and final deliverers of health care, but those principles and those particular priorities must be in line and must be clearly within the parameters of the Canada Health Act.
Therefore, yes, the way in which the motion is worded, we would certainly support my hon. colleague. We believe the province of Quebec, as all provinces, my own included, benefit from living up to the obligations under the Canada Health Act. They can do so and still have the ability to choose their own priorities as to how they spend the money that they receive from the federal government.
