Mr. Chair, the government's own member, the chair of the heritage committee, said that if this had happened in Ontario there would have been a much different response.
I will say this to it. Leadership matters. In either 2007 or 2009 the government made a commitment to work on provincial wait-lists, on dealing with wait times on certain things. That leadership was a commitment to the Canadian people. Provinces worked together with it and they were able to come together. It is a matter of will, leadership and implementation.
