Mr. Speaker, I will be very brief. My question to the hon. member is if the Liberal government is so supportive of Canada's health care system and sees it as a top priority, why has it been part of the cut from 50% funding promised when Canada health care came into effect down to 15%?
If the government believes so much that health care is a priority, why did it put $2.5 billion into the millennium scholarship fund which will affect only 6% of post-graduate students and will not see any benefit until the year 2000? If health care was such a priority, why did it do that?
