Mr. Speaker, the crisis in the health care sector continues.
Since the Liberals took office, over $16 billion has been snatched away from the provinces in the sector of health care and social services.
The result is clear in the reports we have been seeing of late. Waiting time in Quebec emergency rooms has reached a critical level. As is the federal Liberals' practice, the blame is passed on to the provinces.
Next week's budget will not provide the $16 billion already taken. The Minister of Finance will try to convince you he is repairing the health care system, but billions more will be needed to fix it.
Canadians, beware, next week's budget will bring you more taxes and less health care.
