Mr. Chair, the fact is that waiting lists are getting longer. We had the Canadian Institute for Health Information pointing out that in Quebec the waiting list for breast cancer surgery has gone from 29 to 42 days. Special note was made of that.
I think the concern Canadians have, and frankly what the former finance minister is saying, is that the health accord is not addressing these issues. It is fine to say that we are getting it on track, but in the meantime people are waiting for vital surgery and the lists are getting longer and longer. The question is, when the former finance minister becomes prime minister, as he almost certainly will, will she recommend to him that we change this accord to start to address some of those issues and some of the facts that the former finance minister himself has pointed out? That is the question.
