With regard to the Canada Health Act, the program criteria used has five points. One is public administration, one is comprehensiveness, universal, portable and accessible. The concern I have is the universal health care where the Minister stated in her opening comments that some programs were not being delivered because they did not have the people. They had the resources, but they were not spending in the area where it was allocated. How often is it that we do an assessment to ensure we are following those five criteria and making sure that we do meet the Canada Health Act standards?
