You raised the question of the aging demographic and rising health care costs being a factor as to why we don't have a lot of chance of getting out of structural deficit in the foreseeable future. We're now entering into the health care negotiations leading into a 2014 agreement, or a deadline for an agreement.
Last time, there was a federal cheque for $41 billion. With the current deficit, it's highly unlikely that it would happen again. I'd appreciate your reflection on the level of provincial debts juxtaposed with this negotiation and how much of a complicating factor it is going to be to reach a surplus once again.
The second question is, has the government provided a credible plan to get Canada back to balanced budgets?
