Thank you, Madam Chair.
I have so many questions. I'm going to try to be succinct.
I want to thank you for coming back; this is very kind. Thank you for the work that you do. It is so important.
I want to come back to the recommendation in regard to the Canada health transfer and the fact that it needs to be increased. There needs to be more money, because we're heading into the peak of the baby boom generation. I recognize that you want the increase to go to $167 billion. Should there be strings attached? Provincial governments are notorious for taking money and then giving it away as tax breaks or spending it in ways that do not meet the intent, so should there be strings attached to that funding?
