Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Health.
It has been over four months since the date that Canadians were promised that the Canada health council would be up and running.
Will the minister now assure Canadians, who are concerned about the lack of accountability and the erosion of medicare through massive funding cuts by the new Liberal leader, and by privatization, that soon there will be a strong, well funded council in place with members committed to the Canada Health Act, to the Romanow commission and to a publicly funded and delivered medicare system?
