“We should pass this bill. It is long overdue and lets patients see their own health records. I want my colleague to explain how this bill helps patients.”
“Madam Speaker, I believe it is important that we advance the legislation. Back in the nineties, I was the health care critic in the province of Manitoba. Even back then, we were talking about having better access and about patients being able to see their records. I see the legislation as modernizing something that is long overdue. It is in the patient’s best interest. Could my colleague provide her thoughts on the patient’s best interest and how the bill would support that?”
