Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his question, and I acknowledge the work we have previously done together on the Standing Committee on Health.
It is important to recognize that the territories and provinces remain responsible for delivering health care. Bill S-5 does not change anything. It sets common standards enabling different systems to communicate with one another. The goal is not to impose federal control, but rather to ensure that health care professionals have access to the information they need to safely care for patients.
