Mr. Speaker, this Prime Minister provided $41 billion over the next 10 years, just last year, to all the provinces. I have said very clearly that the Canada Health Act is an important instrument for the federal government to ensure that there are certain practices that are followed across the country and certain principles that are observed. We shall be applying the Canada Health Act and enforcing it evenly right across the country.
In the House of Commons on February 17th, 2005. See this statement in context.
