Mr. Speaker, the question may be slightly off topic for the speech and the conversation, but health care is indeed one of the major challenges facing the federal and provincial governments. When I go door to door in my riding, this is the number one issue on people's minds.
As I mentioned in my speech, one complex aspect of this issue is the fact that funding for Canada's health care system is shared among the provinces and the federal government, but the jurisdiction is primarily provincial. This factor is relevant to any discussion of health care.
