Mr. Speaker, with all due respect, it takes some nerve to say what the minister just said because the premiers had to take out ads on television and in the papers, and meet in Halifax to call attention to the underfunding by the federal government, which has completely destroyed the health care system.
This is the first time we have seen this happen. The people of New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario, no matter what their political stripe, had to pay for ads to convince the federal government to come up with funding.
Can the Minister of Health tell me what the National Assembly's consensus signifies to her? If Mario Dumont, Jean Charest, Bernard Landry and 125 members, representing all of Quebec, reject this report, what does it signify to her, in a parliamentary democracy?
