You have mentioned our choice in particular. Others might blame us for it. But I don't. You have pointed out that this is a major expense. In 2014, it will have to be renegotiated with the provinces. The NDP is the founder of Canada's free and public universal health care system. We are always going to strive to maintain it.
On your end, you have drawn a circle around the amounts that have to be transferred to maintain the increases in the health system. We have made this choice by emptying our budget envelope and this is currently affecting our ability to pay. So it is a matter of choice and priorities. It is not just about health being unaffordable, but health being unaffordable as part of a structure like this, with tax cuts.
