Mr. Speaker, in 1997, the Prime Minister said, “It's past time the feds scrapped the Canada Health Act”.
In 2005, just before he took power, he said that two-tier health care “would be a good idea”.
The Conservatives deny the federal government's role and speak openly about transferring tax points to the provinces. That would kill the Canada Health Act. The Prime Minister has done nothing since 2006 except flow the 2004 accord dollars to the provinces.
Does the Prime Minister believe he has a role in standing up for public health in Canada?
