Mr. Speaker, during my travels across Canada, I met people in every community who had been in psychiatric hospitals.
More important still, the representatives of municipalities and communities told me how they had suffered these past 15 years from budget cuts. They asked us to get involved. What did we do? In the last two budgets we made transfer payments to the provinces. We added $11.5 billion more for health, $2 billion for child benefits, $1.9 billion for social housing. As Liberals, we shall continue along these same lines.
