Mr. Speaker, when I rose in the House this morning, I congratulated the member for Charleswood St. James—Assiniboia for bringing this debate forward and for his motion. I can tell him that I certainly will be supporting his motion. I think it is very important.
The question that the debate always and invariably ends with is how to achieve this. I think we all support the principle of what the member brings forward. I think that what he brings forward is the first concern of Canadians and that is health care. I thank him for using the time of the House for such an important issue.
I also remind him that there are many other ailments for which research and strategies are needed. We have to look at the comprehensive approach. We have to look at all our resources and how we will bring them to bear. There is no doubt that the questions of mental health, cancer and cardiac care are primary.
