Premier Mike Harris:

"We have a real crisis, I think, in expectation versus affordability, particularly into the future." Canada needs "a clear, new, revolutionary way of looking at (health care).... There can't be any sacred cows."

"We should not be afraid to say, can the private sector run this hospital better? Can they provide this service better?... If they can, why should we fear that? We should welcome that."

Comment: Look south, Mr. Harris, look south!
