Mr. Speaker, the hon. member knows perfectly well that all taxes collected by the government go into the government's consolidated fund and that this money is used to pay for all the government's programs.
Perhaps some people will suggest that we should compartmentalize expenditures and revenues, but that is pure speculation. The government intends to go on collecting taxes and taking these taxes to maintain health care programs. Furthermore, our party has made a clear commitment to maintaining a free and universal health care system for all Canadians.
