Madam Speaker, the member may well have been a member when the Liberals first committed to this and ran on it in 1997, and I think she may well have been a member ever since. I certainly think that in that time the Liberals ought to have come up with some of their own good ideas on how to advance this agenda much further than it has already.
For me, I think if the federal government signals a willingness to put that money on the table and requests a meeting with the premiers, that would be a good start, as would moving forward with a legislative framework for that. We have an example already in the Canada Health Act and non-legislative examples in the Canada health accords, where there are a lot of models for interprovincial and federal co-operation on important issues of health. Typically it has been when the federal government has signalled a willingness to actually spend the money that provinces come to the table, so we are waiting on the government for that.
