Mr. Speaker, that means the government will do nothing more.
In his firewall letter in 2001, the Prime Minister wrote that each province should raise its own revenue for health care, replace Canada health and social transfer cash with tax points.
The tea party leader from Beauce advocated transferring the tax points to the provinces, and Brian Mulroney recently argued for some form of user fees. That would make it an open season for privatization and user fees.
Will the Prime Minister tell us what he really believes about the federal role in health care and his penchant for privatization?
