Mr. Speaker, even when we were running a $43 billion deficit our first priority was to restore $1.5 billion to the transfers for health care. That is where our priorities were. We are very concerned about the level of health care for every Canadian. This is why the Prime Minister, the health minister and the finance minister have said we will be addressing health in tomorrow's budget.
