“Our health program covers only basic, temporary care for people who cannot get provincial health care yet. It is not for luxuries. We have cut the number of people using it by 60 percent since 2024, and we will keep cutting that number.”
“Mr. Speaker, let us do this one more time. This is what we are actually doing. The interim federal health program covers limited temporary health coverage to vulnerable people who are not yet eligible for provincial coverage. It covers essential services. It is not for luxury items, and the cost is tied to volumes. As I have said, over and over again, we have reduced that volume by 60% from 2024. We will keep reducing that pressure.”
