Mr. Speaker, Conservative governments across the country are privatizing our health care. They want to make people pay to see a doctor. It is no different in Quebec. However, this Prime Minister is too weak to stand up to the Conservatives. People are paying the price. What will it take for him to get a backbone and defend the principles of public, universal health care?

Mr. Speaker, our health care system is in crisis as result of cuts by the Conservatives and Liberals. Although the Prime Minister promised to strengthen our public system, he is confusing innovation and privatization. He is more than a little off the mark. Profit has no place in any discussion about people's health. We need to invest in our universal public health care system now more than ever. More money in the private sector means more health care workers not working in the public sector. When will the Prime Minister understand that privatizing health care is not innovation, but rather a step backwards?

Madam Speaker, I appreciate my colleague's speech on the interest of the people of our nation in taking care of the people of Quebec. As he said, the NDP agrees with allowing Quebec to opt out of new federal programs with financial compensation. The problem with his bill is that he also wants to exempt Quebec from its obligation to honour the five principles of medicare. Does my colleague realize that his bill opens the door to privatizing our health care system?
