Mr. Speaker, it is my great pleasure to uphold, along with our government, the Canada Health Act.
This government is taking federal leadership on health care. We uphold the Canada Health Act that underscores a number of principles, including accessibility, which ensures Canadians will always have access to the care they need, based on that need and not based on the ability to pay.
I will work with the provinces and territories to ensure that access is always available to Canadians.
