Mr. Speaker, the finance minister has told Canadians that the hardest thing he ever had to do was cut health care. It is hard to believe this is the same finance minister who, despite a $6.5 billion surplus, could not find one extra dollar this year for health care transfers. If he just kept his promise to spend 50% of the surplus on vital services, we could have shored up health care.
My question is for the Prime Minister. What happened to his promise?
