Madam Speaker, I posed a question to the leader of the New Democratic Party, and it is a very important question that needs to be answered directly.
We recognize that the need for national standards for long-term care is there. It is very real. It is tangible. It is something on which this government has committed to move forward, but we also need to recognize that the provinces, as the administrators of health care, have an absolutely critical role. If we were to automatically do what the NDP wants us to do at the national level, that would then have additional costs and impacts on all the provinces.
Does the NDP have any provincial support for this particular initiative?
