I have said and I will repeat that there is enough money in the system. However I will say there are some areas where we have to set our priorities. Medicare is a priority. It is a priority for the federal government and it is a priority for most provincial governments. They have to base their financial decisions on their priorities.
We are doing it here. We are working at setting our fiscal house in order because we understand we have to do certain things to preserve and protect the very sacred programs which are constitutive to our identity.
That is what medicare is. It defines what Canadians really are and it shows the values of caring and sharing which have helped to build this great country. We will continue supporting these solid values.
