Mr. Chairman, I can reassure the hon. member that I am the Minister of Health and I have one task and one task only, and that is to discharge my obligations as the Minister of Health. One of the most important obligations I have right now is to work with provinces, territories, members of the House, health care professionals and those who use the system to renew the health care system.
I would hope that the hon. member, with her sophisticated knowledge, and I mean this quite sincerely, of the health care system would not suggest that the renewal of this system is only about cash, because it is not. There is no one that I have talked to who has suggested that renewal is only about cash.
I will certainly make a commitment to the people of Canada and to the members of the House that the Romanow commission's report will be made public by Mr. Romanow. We will take up that report and we, as a government, will begin the development of our plan of action with the provinces, territories, and with those who choose to respond to that report, including I am sure the Standing Committee on Health.
