Mr. Speaker, I can reassure the hon. member that we are very close.
In response to a letter sent by the Prime Minister to the premier of Alberta, the Prime Minister indicated that he wanted his Minister of Health and provincial ministers of health to sit down and conclude our negotiations around a dispute avoidance and resolution mechanism. I can assure the hon. member that I have talked to my counterpart in the province of Alberta who co-chairs this project and we are moving forward.
