Mr. Speaker, it is a shame that members would speak to each other in that kind of way.
I believe that within every member's heart, they are here because they wish to serve their communities. The average number of years that Canadians spend in health is six years longer than the United States, two years longer than the United Kingdom and one year longer than France and Italy. We have the second highest only to Japan.
The model Conservatives would choose would push us deeper into ill health and attack our health system. That is not a direction we will follow.
