Madam Speaker, I was expecting a question along those lines. My colleague did not hear my speech, but I made it very clear that any provinces and territories that already have their own regulations will not have to opt out of Bill S-5. The federal government will not interfere with the delivery of health care services by the provinces and territories. The law is complementary, applying only in cases where a province or territory does not already have comparable legislation. At present, Quebec and Ontario already have their own legislation in place.
In the House of Commons on November 5th, 2026. See this statement in context.
