If the question is designed to elicit an answer instead of being rhetorical, I would say no.
What I would say in responding to that is this: the social transfer was of course designed before any of this was contemplated. The transfer itself was based upon the cost that provinces actually have in meeting their responsibilities to provide health care in a timely fashion and social services.
I know the federal government would know full well, because Mr. Harper has frequently remarked on it, that the cost to the health care system going up at about 8% a year would not only gobble up that increase, but would swallow up an amount beyond that now.
Certainly there has not been a willingness of any federal government, nor should there be, to allow provinces to deviate from the Canada Health Act. So unless that flexibility is there—and I would suggest it isn't—then anybody who could operate an abacus would know that there's no new money attached to this new statute.
