Madam Speaker, the concept of equity versus equality is one that is lost on some members of the House. It is important to note that some Canadians do live in disparate conditions. They live far away from hospitals and have less access to services, to resources and to a family doctor. We have to ensure that everybody has service and access to the exact same system, and we have to make sure outcomes are the same. Outcomes are what is important here. Certainly, it does cost more money to provide people with health care in rural, remote communities. It does cost more to serve somebody who is under-resourced, who has a lower income, and who deserves and needs a little more help.
