Mr. Speaker, this government has not been able to keep its promises on the current health accord. That is not very proactive.
The government promised to be accountable to Canadians on the $40 billion investments in this accord, but eight years later, the situation is far from improved.
Far too many Canadians still have to wait for surgery, others do not have access to home care, and drug insurance coverage is inadequate, to name a few of the problems.
In the negotiations to renew the health accord, will the government show leadership to ensure that Canadians can have the health care they deserve?
