Mr. Speaker, this is a shell game. In 1993 when the government was elected the federal government contributed 16% to covering B.C.'s health care costs. Today its contribution is down to 10%. Hospital waiting lists are at record levels and they are to increase in British Columbia.
My question is to anyone over there that can answer it. Does the government not see the connection between its health care policies and deteriorating health care in all the provinces of Canada?
