Mr. Speaker, one of the reasons that the Americans spend so much money on health care is that their system is so inefficient compared to ours.
We have just announced that over the next five years we are putting an additional $11.5 billion into the hands of provinces and they have promised to use it for health care.
We believe in medicare, unlike the Reform Party that would repeal the Canada Health Act and take the American route. If the hon. member does not like the American system, why is he arguing in favour of it?
