Mr. Speaker, I believe the bill is set up in an appropriate way that it would allow for the provinces to set up with their own colleges and with their own regulations on how medical assistance would be provided. As the hon. member knows, the provision of health care services in the country is the jurisdiction of the province. We respect that and the bill makes provisions for that. The minister has stated that she looks forward to working with the provinces to assist in a framework across the country.
In the House of Commons on May 2nd, 2016. See this statement in context.
