Mr. Speaker, it is clear why the minister was out in the hallway while the health accord was being discussed, that is for sure.
The fact is there is absolutely no plan to stop privatization of health care in this country. All we are hearing is rhetoric and we know what rhetoric means.
We see a similar case more tragically unfolding in the case of hepatitis C. The past president of the Hemophilia Society has said that hundreds of people have died because there has been no plan to ensure that the funds that were set aside are reaching those in need.
Could the Minister of Health tell us why there is no plan to ensure that patients get the money they need?
