Mr. Speaker, I thank the hon. member for the question. It is clearly outlined that in the most populous province in the country there has obviously been provincial restructuring of hospitals, et cetera, and these dollars will be extremely important to making sure that residents who live in Ontario will be able to get the kind of health care they need.
Again, in conjunction with the provinces, there is no question that these dollars will obviously be used by the provinces effectively. The Ontario government, having signed the health accord, has committed to making sure that the issue of chronic care beds that are needed and reducing the waiting period for ER as an example will be dealt with.
We hear the Premier of Ontario telling us that this is a good budget and therefore he likes where these priorities are going.
