Mr. Speaker, what is extraordinarily evident by the Romanow report is that whether we are squabbling about dividing 14¢ or 34¢, or whatever, 50% of doctors and hospitals, that is not what the deal was. What we need is a new deal and we have to move forward. The floor of 25% is one that Mr. Romanow, in his black and white striped shirt and a whistle, as a former premier, has said is the new deal. We have to go forward from there.
