Madam Speaker, I do not have a problem with accountability. Canadians want accountability for their tax dollars, but reasonable accountability is what we are talking about.
It seems again I am talking of the doublespeak that the government uses. We all read the comments of the transport minister when he talked about certain dollars that were signed away and that the process really was not there to keep track of it and there are toll highways in New Brunswick because things were not accounted for. It is important to recognize that we have to be accountable and the things that happened were wrong in that case.
We did not have a problem within the health care system in Canada. There was not a serious problem until this government took the helm and dollars became so scarce that the government had to get on somebody's case over where the dollars were going. We did not hear Canadians complain about the things they are talking about now, of not getting surgery for six months to a year and of not getting treatment for breast cancer until three, four or five months down the road. That is the legacy of the Liberal government and it is not because of accountability.
