Mr. Speaker, the government is helping provincial governments financially to operate the health care system. The managing of the health care system on a daily basis is done by provincial governments. We work in collaboration with them. That is why we had a very good meeting two weeks ago. Members will see in one hour and 56 minutes what the government intends to do for health care in the budget.
In the House of Commons on February 16th, 1999. See this statement in context.
