However, those discussions are taking place on the ground. You have directors and a very strong public service that manage the health networks. Some choices may not be the best, but who has the jurisdiction to manage the health care system? Is it those who aren't accountable for the results, or is it those who are accountable? Who knows what the needs are, is it the provinces or the federal government?
That's a basic principle, because money is limited. The provinces said they wanted an additional $28 billion per year for the next 10 years to ensure the network's strength, and the federal government offered them $4.6 billion a year for all of Canada.
Do you think that's a responsible attitude, as we come out of a pandemic?
