Mr. Speaker, it is obvious that the health minister lacks clout, so I want to direct my supplementary to the finance minister.
The minister hints that he may return 25 cents for every dollar he has ripped out of health care. For this Canadians are supposed to be grateful, to bow down and kiss his ring. Meanwhile, some women are forced to drive 300 kilometres to deliver their babies because there are no hospital beds nearby.
Will the finance minister today agree to return $2.5 billion to health care this year and commit today to long term stable health care funding?
