Mr. Speaker, I had the occasion to reply to that question earlier. However, I will repeat that we have established a floor of $12.5 billion. That was the recommendation. The hon. member will be invited to vote for it. It is exactly what the national forum on health asked the government to do.
On top of that we have committed $60 million for a new blood agency, $211 million over five years for a national HIV strategy and a $134 million increase over three years for the medical research council. The Minister of Finance also introduced new care giver tax credits in the last budget. It is a fair amount for one budget.
