Mr. Speaker, the expression area of jurisdiction contains the word “jurisdiction”. When someone has a toothache, they do not call the hairdresser, any more than they would call the federal government. Federal dental coverage is not even available yet, and already everyone is furious with Ottawa. Seniors are furious because after being promised free care, they are going to have to foot the bill. Dentists are furious because Ottawa blames them. This is all because Ottawa, which knows absolutely nothing about this, promised free care without knowing how much it would cost. Why not act like the tooth fairy and put the money under Quebec City's pillow?
