Mr. Speaker, I notice the Prime Minister is more interested in monetary matters than in the level of health care to be offered to Canadians.
Does the Prime Minister realize that the situation is already very disturbing for health care recipients-in Quebec, for instance, and I am sure it must be about the same anywhere else in Canada, there is a five-month wait for heart surgery and three months for radiation therapy -and that by using his proposed transfer payments to the provinces to improve spending cuts, he will further extend delays that are already unacceptable?
