Statement made on 15 September 2009 by Senator James Cowan

Hon. James S. Cowan (Leader of the Opposition):

Honourable senators, over the summer, Canada's health care system has been the victim of a deliberate disinformation campaign south of the border. Thus far, the government has remained silent and refuses to set the record straight.

Will the Leader of the Government in the Senate tell us whether the Prime Minister will seize the opportunity he has tomorrow when meeting with President Obama to stand up and defend Canada's health care system?
