Mr. Speaker, our party supports having a strong and high quality public health care service in order to meet people's expectations.
Quality service would be possible if the federal government had a plan for financial commitment to the provinces in keeping with their areas of jurisdiction.
The private sector's invasion in health care is not something we want, although, at the moment, the provinces are struggling with funding in the field of health. We might consider the private sector a solution, but a public health care system is desirable, and we want to keep it to meet the expectations of the public as a whole. We want a fair and equitable service.
