Mr. Speaker, the member referred to last year's budget as the education budget. I remind the House that was the same year 12,000 students declared personal bankruptcy because of their inability to get jobs and pay off their student debts. That was the year of the education budget.
This year is the year of the so-called health budget. The amount of money announced by the finance minister, although a substantial $11.5 billion which by anyone's imagination is still a lot of money, will only bring us back to 1995 spending levels by the year 2005. In other words, we will be 10 years behind by the time we catch up after the government having stripped $17 billion from that same budget. How does he square these numbers as a CA?
