Mr. Speaker, I hope the hon. member would agree with the fact that the finances of the country are now somewhat in order. We inherited a $42 billion deficit from the last government.
Canadians said that we should put our house in order. That is what we did. Had we not taken the measures we did, perhaps we would have been here today asking the House for further cuts. In fact today we are hoping the House will support a bill that will reinvest in the priorities of Canadians.
The member's province along with the rest of the country will begin to receive additional moneys with respect to the Canada health transfer.
Surely the hon. member, for the sake of his constituents, would support the fact that there is a reinvestment in the Canada Health Act.
