“I support this bill. The provinces and territories will still run health care. This bill only sets shared rules so their computer systems can talk to each other, which helps health workers get the patient information they need.”
“Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his question, and I acknowledge the work we have previously done together on the Standing Committee on Health. It is important to recognize that the territories and provinces remain responsible for delivering health care. Bill S-5 does not change anything. It sets common standards enabling different systems to communicate with one another. The goal is not to impose federal control, but rather to ensure that health care professionals have access to the information they need to safely care for patients.”
