Mr. Speaker, it appears that the Minister does not want to answer my question. The concern I have is that there has been some indication by medical practitioners that pain relievers are not given, or anesthetics are not given, because of hemorrhaging or whatever excuse. I am concerned that women are subjected to unnecessary pain in the medical procedure performed. The Minister indicated they can get pain relief if they want it. Can the Minister give this House an example as to any patients who do not want to have pain relief administered? Why is his department telling him that pain relief administered during this procedure does not necessarily have to be given? I would like to ask the Minister why.
