Mr. Speaker, it is my full time job to come to grips with exactly that kind of issue.
Let us be clear. The provincial governments are responsible for delivering health services. The federal government transfers money to assist them to do that.
What I am telling the hon. member is that I have a very good idea of the challenges faced by Joan Marie Aylward. She is doing a tremendous job facing those difficulties in Newfoundland.
We have increased the transfers to the provinces very substantially over the coming five years with stable and higher levels of funding. We will be there to help and to work with provincial ministers, including in Newfoundland, but ultimately the province must deliver those services.
