Mr. Speaker, this year in terms of tax point transfers alone the provinces will be receiving over $13.5 billion. The equalization transfer this year is $8.5 billion, up from $8.1 billion when we took office. The child tax benefit is $1.8 million. That is money that is going into provincial coffers and into the hands of Canadians with children to enable them to protect their health.
Whether we put money into research and development or into the health transition fund, this party, the party that created the Canada Health Act, stands behind the health of Canadians.
