Mr. Speaker, in Canada, we believe health care should be there when we need it, and it should be free.
Today, Collège des médecins du Québec president, Dr. Mauril Gaudreault, was quoted saying that patients are typically being told by doctors that they could do the surgery in 14 months, but if the patient goes to their private clinic, they could get it done in one month and it would cost $25,000. Dr. Gaudreault says that is questionable, if not illegal.
I think it is pretty clearly illegal. Does the Prime Minister agree?
