Mr. Speaker, these are the facts. In the previous parliament the Reform Party said that it wanted to take $3.5 billion out of the health care system.
Fact: Two weeks ago the member for Elk Island said that health care spending was irresponsible.
Fact: The member for Calgary—Nose Hill said that spending on health care was irresponsible.
Fact: The member from Okanagan, who started the whole thing, said that health care spending was questionable.
Let me tell the Reform Party that health care is part of the basic fabric of this country and we will protect the health care system.
