Mr. Speaker, the Liberal government has spent the last four years overseeing the expansion of private health care delivery within the public system.
Yesterday the minister said, “If some provinces want to experiment with the private delivery option...we should be examining these efforts”. Today he said it is not his intention to favour private delivery, except that last week he said, “We know the public administration principle of the Canada Health Act already provides flexibility on private delivery”.
Is it not the case that the government is so busy trying to attack this party on health care it does not have a clue on what its own position is?
