Madam Speaker, I think it is very clear that in this country we need a few things. We need great leadership and we need great co-operation. I believe that in this country, we have the ability to solve this problem. If we all work together with the provinces, with great leadership from the federal government, as we will show on the Conservative side of the House when we take over government, we will be able to solve these problems. We are a co-operative group and will move forward on this issue very clearly.

Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for her question. We can talk about money in the House all day if we want to, but until we begin to operationalize things, we are not going to see any change. I think one of the worst things we could possibly do in Canada is start comparing ourselves to an American system. We know that the American system is based on private care. We know that people do not have access. We know it is very costly. The United States spends more money on health care than anybody else in this world. To think we need to allow our system to collapse more than it has and adopt an American-style system would be a disservice to all Canadians.

Re: Bill C-39

Madam Speaker, I do not recall my hon. colleague making anything personal in the MAID committee, so I am thankful for that. There is one thing that is very important. We can talk about scenarios, what-ifs, therefores and plausibility, but let us be clear. What we know is that the Liberal government committed $4.5 billion to fund the Canada mental health transfer, and it sent none of it, zero, zilch, nada.

Re: Bill C-39

Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for that great question. We know, very clearly, there are multiple ways to fix the health care system. Certainly those would be rolled out, as we come closer to election time, in the platform of the Conservative Party. What we also know is that people who want to immigrate to this country to be a part of the health care system are being disrespected in terms of how their credentials may or may not be recognized in this country. As everybody in the chamber knows, if we were going to create another psychiatrist from inception, at the time of going to university, there is a four-year undergraduate degree, four years of medical school and at least four years of residency. We cannot wait for that. On this side of the House, when the Conservatives form the government, we would be very respectful of immigrants and the talents they bring to this country, and how they could help the ailing health care system.

Re: Bill C-31

Madam Speaker, I appreciate the minister's comments on this, but my question remains. The government cannot even afford the Canada mental health transfer, which has been promised for a very long time, and it cannot manage the Canadian health care system now, so why is it introducing new legislation for something else that it would not be able to manage?
