Mr. Speaker, leadership means finding solutions, not hiding behind excuses. We have another serious threat to our health care system in the form of Danielle Smith's sovereignty act in Alberta. Albertans are worried about their health care system, and the act is going to do nothing to deal with the problem. In fact, it might make things even worse. People in Alberta are worried that Danielle Smith will use the sovereignty act to undermine Canadian laws, like the Canada Health Act, and make patients pay to access hospital services. What is the Prime Minister doing to stop Danielle Smith from destroying health care in Alberta? What is he doing to protect health care so Albertans get the care they need?

Mr. Speaker, I can very much understand why so many Albertans are preoccupied with the premier's choice to bypass the legislature in order to advance her agenda, but on this side of the House we will remain focused on standing up for Albertans on working constructively with anyone who wants to advance better jobs and a cleaner environment for Albertans, and who wants to work to ensure that they are getting quality health care services with real results and real outcomes. We are going to continue to work with all Albertans to deliver a brighter future for them.

  • Re: Bill C-29 
Madam Speaker, a fundamental core principle that I believe in is respecting provincial jurisdiction and the jurisdiction of provincial governments. Therefore, I will leave that conversation to Albertans and to the Government of Alberta. I suggest that what the member should do is focus on our work here in the House of Commons and the changes that he can directly impact as a federal member of Parliament. I would hope to see his focus on improving this bill, Bill C-29, establishing this national council for reconciliation, which is an aspiration that I know the member and I both share. I look forward to seeing the member bring the exact same passion and dedication and steadfast advocacy here to the House of Commons on federal legislation and federal issues in his federal role as a member of Parliament, and maybe actually hold the Liberals to account instead of being in partnership with them and propping them up.
