Mr. Speaker, again that is the party that was calling for a two tier health care system, one designed to penalize the poor.

We are the party that restored $1.5 billion as our first spending priority for health care. This is the government which has brought in about 12 different health care measures in past budgets. This is the party that is committed to making tomorrow's budget a health care budget.
