I have to say that the Minister’s answer was certainly disproportionate to the facts that exist today and the reality is several provinces are taking this on because they’ve done the research. The Canadian Medical Association agrees, Mr. Speaker. New England Journal thinks this is important. The National Transport Safety Board in the U.S. thinks it’s important. I’m not sure who is left that doesn’t think it’s important, other than the Minister, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, what concrete position or evidence is the Minister looking for to actually entertain this idea and let’s get on board with it? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
