Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Health. As the minister knows, as cash transfers to provinces go down the tax point shares go up.
Yesterday the Prime Minister, speaking straight from the heart, said: "When you transfer tax points you lose all leverage after that because you don't collect the money. The day that you don't have any more cash, you can't use the leverage". That suggests to me that it is straight through the heart of the health care system.
I want to ask a question of the minister whose major responsibility to the Canadian citizen is to protect the national health care system. Clearly she has not been successful. Will she do the right thing and resign?
