Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the question from my colleague and his collaboration on the health committee.
We believe, on this side of the House, that all that people should need in order to get health care is their health card, not their credit card. We will always stand up for Canada's universal, public health care. Canadians are proud of our system, which has always been based on need, not their ability to pay. Our discussions with the premiers included the importance of upholding the Canada Health Act, which means making sure that services are based on need and not a person's ability to pay.
We will always protect Canada's equitable access to universal health care and services.
