Health care is not a municipal responsibility, it's a provincial responsibility. Yet over the years we've been constantly downloaded. In Manitoba you have to pay 10% toward capital cost if you have a hospital or clinic in your area. We've gone to the RHA system, which is inefficient in Manitoba. It seems more and more things, including programming, are being pushed onto municipalities, which have to come up with money. Municipalities are being asked to help fund beds and things in the hospitals in their towns and villages. It's very unfair for municipalities in that it's really not part of our mandate. Health care is a provincial and federal responsibility. This is only one part of the puzzle.
The number of dollars that different municipalities are putting into these health care facilities and health care programs is taking away from the things they should be doing—repairing roads, fixing streets, water, sewer, and those types of things. I think there has to be a clarification of the roles and responsibilities in regard to what is a municipal responsibility, what is a provincial responsibility, and what is a federal responsibility. The dollars are very limited, and we have to make the best use of those dollars. If we could stick to doing municipal work, that would be great.
