Our concern, of course, is that when you link the Canada health transfer to the GDP, you're creating uncertainty for the provinces. We've heard concerns expressed by provincial finance ministers and others who are concerned about growing health care costs and gradually diminishing increases in the health care transfer. We've heard real concerns about what that's going to mean for the services Canadians receive down the road and also the crunch that's going to mean for provincial budgets down the road, because this is of course the biggest expenditure in most provincial budgets.
I know the decision on this was in the last budget, but this linking to the GDP is part of that decision. It's included in this budget. I want to again express our concern about this.
