Thank you for the question, Mr. Baker. It's not that I'm trying to see you so often on purpose; it all depends on the invitations I receive, although I'm always happy to accept them.
With respect to the percentage of provincial expenditures covered by the federal transfers, the figures we arrived at are closer to 32%. To arrive at that ratio, we factor in expenditures covered by the Canada Health Act, things like expenditures on hospitals, doctors, and long-term care centres or homes for the elderly. We don't include services that the provinces opted to provide because that would skew the data somewhat or increase the denominator, which would yield a somewhat lower ratio.
So by the factoring in both federal transfers and expenditures covered by the Canada Health Act, we get to numbers closer to 32% or 33%.
