Mr. Speaker, yesterday the Minister of Health and Social Services, in her opening comments to her budget, responded to the motion that was put forward to this House last week, and many Members were quite enthused by the Minister’s willingness to move the effective date of that supplementary change to April 1, 2010.

Mr. Speaker, when a person takes time to closely read the actual words in the statement, it says things like “follow policy’s intent.” I want to get an understanding from the Minister, what is the policy’s intent and objectives that the Minister will be proceeding forward with and will Members be given the framework or synopsis of the government’s positions on how they plan to proceed forward with that intent?
