"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"621150\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I very much appreciate the sentiments that the parliamentary secretary has put forward, but I am back in the same position I was in five minutes ago. Let us focus on the what the real issue is here. The real issue is that there is a private clinic charging for medically necessary services. The Canada Health Act says that one may not charge for a medically necessary service. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"621151\" data-originallang=\"en\">My other point, on which I am not much further ahead either, is that the minister promised to look into the private MRIs being sold by St. Paul's Hospital and to report back. I am still looking for a timetable to hear that report.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"621152\" data-originallang=\"en\">This is not about general opting out. This is a private clinic charging for medically necessary services, which is in contradiction to the Canada Health Act. I expect the federal government to uphold the Canada Health Act.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"621150\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je comprends tr\u00e8s bien les sentiments exprim\u00e9s par le secr\u00e9taire parlementaire, mais je me retrouve au m\u00eame point qu'il y a cinq minutes. Concentrons-nous sur le v\u00e9ritable probl\u00e8me ici. Le v\u00e9ritable probl\u00e8me, c'est qu'il y a une clinique priv\u00e9e qui fait payer des services m\u00e9dicalement n\u00e9cessaires. La Loi canadienne sur la sant\u00e9 interdit de faire payer un service m\u00e9dicalement n\u00e9cessaire.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"621151\" data-originallang=\"en\">L'autre point que je veux soulever, et sur lequel je ne suis pas beaucoup plus avanc\u00e9e non plus, c'est que le ministre a promis de faire enqu\u00eate sur l'affaire des examens par IRM vendus par l'h\u00f4pital St. Paul's et de pr\u00e9senter un rapport \u00e0 ce sujet. J'attends toujours de conna\u00eetre la date \u00e0 laquelle ce rapport sera pr\u00e9sent\u00e9.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"621152\" data-originallang=\"en\">Il ne s'agit pas ici d'une province qui exerce son droit de retrait. Il s'agit d'une clinique priv\u00e9e qui fait payer des services m\u00e9dicalement n\u00e9cessaires, ce qui va \u00e0 l'encontre de la Loi canadienne sur la sant\u00e9. Je m'attends \u00e0 ce que le gouvernement f\u00e9d\u00e9ral fasse respecter la Loi canadienne sur la sant\u00e9.</p>"
