Madam Speaker, leaving the trade issues aside, Bill C-39 in part certainly is moving in the right direction in terms of reaffirming our commitment to a public health care system in Canada. If we could build in the accountability measures and the publicly delivered not for profit measures, I think many of us would feel far more comfortable.
We have not seen the kinds of initiatives that we would like to see from the government in terms of protecting our public health care system. We have certainly seen creeping privatization, with private MRI clinics and a number of other issues coming up on which the government is not actually acting. It can take any number of years for measures to be brought forward under the Canada Health Act. They just do not get dealt with in a timely fashion.
We would encourage the government to actually enforce the regulations that are currently available and to look at tightening up that loophole.
