Mr. Speaker, on this side of the House, we have always defended universal health care, and we will continue to do so, but the member opposite has a point. In those provinces, the NDP was unable to stop Conservatives from getting elected and weakening universal health care in all those places. That is why we are going to continue to stand up for universal health care, to stand up for progressive values and, indeed, to stand up to Conservatives.
In the House of Commons on September 25th, 2024. See this statement in context.
