Mr. Speaker, certainly there are still problems. We do not deny that. We are realistic as well. However we have to put the problems in their context. We would all agree that delivery of the health care system is completely provincial jurisdiction.
When we speak of problems in the delivery of the health care system we have to challenge as well the provincial governments as to the level of funding they are giving to their systems in addition to the transfer payments. We are looking as well to the home care program that we may want to establish. This will require federal and provincial negotiations.
We are looking at establishing a national drug plan to the best that we can, following federal-provincial negotiations. I am really amazed that the member would say that the Canadian people did not support the need for the reduction of the fiscal deficit. I think they did and we are now reaping the benefits.
