Mr. Speaker, I do not exactly understand the point of the member's question, but I would say that the remuneration of doctors comes from the provinces. The remuneration of the nurses comes from the provinces.
The member wants to debate whether we are talking about another level of government or this level of government. I am sorry, but we are playing with semantics.
The key thing for Canadians to understand is the solution the NDP has to all of our problems is to throw money at them: hire everybody and pay for everything. That is not the way to manage an economy in a fiscally responsible manner.
NDPers have their way. I understand where they are in the political spectrum. I understand where they are in the House. That is why the Liberal Party is the governing party. It has demonstrated time and time again that proper fiscal management translates into a balanced budget, tax relief and debt reduction for which Canadians asked. We promised those things and we delivered.
