Mr. Speaker, as the member is well aware, the health accord expires in 2014, not this year, not next year and not the year after.
In the meantime, our government will continue to work with the provinces and the territories on the present accord and priorities identified, such as encouraging the statutory review of the accord in both the Senate and the House, as well as to be supportive of the provinces and territories in the reduction of wait times.
We have also gained a lot of ground on establishing electronic health records and a number of other initiatives.
