Sir, you have to understand that Quebec is ahead of the game, so to speak, when it comes to community care and day care services, as Monica mentioned. It's also much easier to convince 308 MPs by stressing values and standards over financial percentages. Never in their wildest dreams did health care providers ever imagine that federal government funding levels would plummet to 16% during the 1990s. Levels are now around 25% and we want to ensure that MPs... Our democratic representatives agreed to allow federal funding levels to shrink to 16% during the 1990s. Never again will we allow that to happen. We will support you if you want to pass legislation setting these levels at 25% or higher.
Thank you.
