Mr. Chair, the member opposite knows in the discussion I had with him outside of the House, I explained the details, which he is also using as part of his question.
First of all, I stated that every Canadian Forces member who requires medical support at a civilian hospital will get top-quality support. More importantly, they will not pay the costs themselves. This is paid for through the Canadian Armed Forces. However, as of right now, depending on the province, a Canadian Armed Forces member is charged three to 10 times more than a Canadian civilian.
We have started a discussion with the provinces so that we can come up with a fair and equitable solution, and then the funds for this will be used further in looking after our Canadian Armed Forces.
