Mr. Speaker, it seems that by suggesting this government has done things wrong the member is suggesting that an NDP government would do things better and correctly.
He tried to blame difficulties in the health care system on federal cuts to health care spending. However, there is an NDP government that he knows very well. Hospitals were being closed in Saskatchewan by an NDP premier long before the federal government, under the Liberals, started taking responsibility for the deficit and getting it under control. One of the areas in which we did that was in reducing transfers to the provinces for health care, which we have since started to augment.
Did Premier Romanow of Saskatchewan, as an NDP premier, not close hospitals long before there was any decrease in federal funding?
