“Mr. Speaker, I genuinely believe that Bill S-5, and what the Minister of Health talked about when she introduced the legislation, is all about the patients. It is all about delivering for patients. It recognizes that health information technology has to play a critical role. I agree with the member that there has to be a high sense of co-operation. Passing the legislation would not necessarily make it happen on its own. We would need to have the provinces and territories buy in. We have seen that some provinces are further ahead than others. Would the member not agree that no matter what level of government we talk about, if everyone agrees to the principle of putting the patient first, we should be able to have a better system that would serve those patients?”

Mr. Speaker, Claims · 54 wordsI talked a little about the agreement that John Horgan, Justin Trudeau and the former minister concluded.1It was for over $26 billion, over a 10-year period, to solve the very basic problem of not being able to access health records in another province.2I asked the former minister what was still blocking that.Reasoning · 16 wordsIt is not for a lack of money or a lack of consensus.It is implementation.Positioning · 59 wordsThe member can say, “We’re all about interoperability.We’re all about data privacy and sharing of information.”That is great.I can say bravo.Good on them.However, if it does not happen, if that minister is pulling a lever that goes nowhere, it is all talk.That is a point that the Liberal government could probably learn from.Positioning
